Hello,
My name is Shaneek Johnson and I love helping the elderly. I have over 8 years of experience working with seniors. I have experience with Alzheimer's, dementia, metal health patients etc. I treat them as my Grandmother or my Grandfather and this is my passion.
I have always helping others. I became a certified nursing assistant when I was 16. I let my certification run out. I am currently working as a CNA. I love helping the elder and caring for them. I care for an elder lady. I believe being a caregiver is my calling
I graduated from Pfeiffer University in May majoring in Exercise Science and minoring in Coaching. I want to go to Graduate school and become a Physician Assistant and to do so, I need 5,000 clinical hours working with different patients. I like being a CNA because it is rewarding.
I took care of my mother during her cancer. One on one care have time to give all a patient needs. I enjoy making a difference in a person's live. Taking care of a person for 8 yrs. And before they die tell me thank you for being there for him. I'm loyal.i always put myself in someone else's situation. And I give all the love and support I can give.
What makes me a great caregiver would have to be my patience, compassion, consideration, empathy, attention to detail and my love for others. I treat others with the same respect that I would want.
My mother was diagnosed with a savvier disorder for sleep apnea when I was only 4. 3 yrs later she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, nerve damage then formed from diabetes as well as sugar issues. 5 months later she was then diagnosed with lupus. She also had a fluid disorder, arthritis, obesity, blood disorder (polycythemia vera), She was never diagnosed but we believed she had formed dementia 1 yr before her death. I took on the responsibility of taking care of her at 17. When I was 18 she had to undergo a thrombectomy (surgery to remove blood clots). She had 1 1/2 gallons removed. When she came home I was her caretaker/caregiver for her surgery recovery. I took her to and from her appointments, helped her bath, fixed her meals, administered her medications and kept up with her medications and ran her errands. I would have to say this as well as the job I worked as a health aid has attracted me to be a great caregiver. I have also dealt with and still deal with epilepsy, My sister and my aunt have grandma seizures, my cousin has pseudoseizures ( not epileptic they are emotion stress induced).
What I most enjoy is the one on one bond that you gain from the resident you are caring for. This type of job gives someone a nice sense of respect, It helps one gain more knowledge and helps family's in need of help to get that help. It takes a lot for someone to leave there loved one with a stranger, I gain a sense of respect and honesty to be trusted with this individual.
A personal achievement that I am proud of would have to be taking care of my mom as well as being there for my sister, aunt, and cousin. There is a lot of health problems in my family and I am proud that I am the one that is able to help them.
I am a very dedicated, loving and ,passionate person. I treat my residents as though they were my family. I grew up around care giving, my mother has been a caregiver for 20+ years. I have always loved seeing the satisfaction my mother had from her job which inspired me to follow in her foot steps. There are so many things that make this a rewarding career, my personal favorite is the relationships you build along the way, to sit and talk to someone about their life and give them a friend as well as a helper. The highest achievement, I feel is the satisfaction of the family you are working for, as well as satisfaction of the resident. This is the main goal I strive for in my work
I became a Caregiver to provide assistance to those in need.
I like being a Caregiver because it provides me with the satisfaction of truly helping others.
I am proud of the joy my clients feel when they see me.
I am a very empathetic and compassionate person.
My name is Jerame Simonds. I have been a CNA for 3 years in July. I enjoy what I do. I have been with the same place for 3 years. I just looking for a new opportunity and better pay I make 8.50 where I am now, and college is getting higher and higher.
I'm a Filipino and have been caring for others for more than 25 years. Specifically, I was a caregiver in Singapore from 1990 to 1995. And then I was a caregiver in Hong Kong from 1995 thru 2006.
I love cooking many kinds of dishes including Asian and American dishes.
Love enjoy being around my elderly, love my job you learned so much. I highly respect my job and the person I working for taking care of a elderly is my first priority. Love being a caregiver.
I am able to treat people the way I would want myself or someone in my family to be treated. I believe that I receive so very much more in my position as a caregiver. My heart is so full of gratitude whenever I end my day. Everyday is different and you have to be ready to go with what's happening at that moment in time. I am very flexible and dependable in that respect. I love a challenge and I love helping others that need the help. I think it is important though that you let them know that you are there to help do whatever they need help with, not there to tell them what or how to do it, make suggestions and always remember that they are still thinking, feeling human beings.
Hi, I consider myself a great CNA, because I've experienced the LTC facilities an home health, never had a complaint on my certification or I've never encountered a resident that didn't like me or my care. I'm a very happy an compassionate caregiver. Almost everyone in my family is a caregiver even my mom. I love and enjoy what I do.
