COPD Caregivers in Merrimack County - 19 caregivers found

I retired from nursing in Aug 2020, and found out I missed caring for patients. I get enjoyment from taking care of clients, catering to their needs, and helping them to feel better. I presently provide care for 2 clients for a total of 10-15 hrs a week. I would like clients close to home, within 10 mile radius. I am honest, dependable, reliable, and most of all a caring individual. Seeing them feel better about themselves is fulfilling. A patient once asked me how I could wipe a person's buttock and not find it degrading. I told her if it made her feel better that's all I needed to know. That helping people feel better was my pleasure in life.

Active License/Certificates LNA (Licensed Nursing Assistant) License Medication Certificate, Dementia Certificate, Hospice and Palliative Care Certificate, 5 years of experience working with patients in hospice care - End of Life stage. Experience with Dementia, ALS, Parkinson's, COPD, and Cancer. I'm a diverse, trustworthy, reliable, non-smoking person with an out-going personality and positive attitude! I go beyond caregiving and help with various tasks to keep my patient happy and safe.

I strive at caregiving because I am personal with my clients, making my service about them and their needs. I am always looking for ways to improve their lives!

My biggest passion is caring and helping people in need. It is a very fulfilling and important part of my life. When I'm not working, I spend my leisure time kayaking, walking/hiking, reading, being creative and taking care of myself and my home. I'm blessed with strength and good health, patience and understanding, and I believe this is why former caretaking clients always asked for me. I look forward to meeting you!

My name is Chelsea. I have worked in nursing homes/ primary care for 10 years. I find myself a very caring, compassionate, patient and understanding person. I try to find the good in every situation. In the last year I took a break from healthcare and took a position in childcare. Somewhat the same as care giving but on the other end of the spectrum. I enjoy creating relationships with my patients and giving them the care they deserve. While working in elderly care I found a majority of the staff was there for the paycheck, I can't say that for myself. I felt important as I became closer with my residents as they felt the comfortable with me as they couldn't with some of the staff. Caring for people makes me feel good because I am making someone feel happy and that is important at their time in life no matter what age, Having to have help is always hard and to have someone that understands , is patient and kind is key in my eyes.

Sincere companionship, listening and hearing what my clients express through observations of physical and emotional status opens the opportunity for me to address issues with gentle non-judgemental compassion manner.

I have been a caregiver for nearly 30 years: I always arrive to work with a positive and upbeat attitude. I love working with the elderly. There is so much to learn from their many years on this earth. I treat all my clients as I would want my own elderly parents to be treated.

I work full-time as nursing assistant at DHMC for 12 years and 5 years as a nutrition assistant. My 2 amazing children are in the teen. I want to help out my community. Here are stuff I have done: Activities of daily living- hygiene 2 years of culinary arts- prepare meals House cleaning Help with exercise Run errands Hospice Help with someone that struggling with addiction Basic life support First aid CPR Planning and preparing meals Dementia Alzheimer's I would love to help out families that want to keep their love ones home, and need help. It has always been my passion!

I love what I do, and I treat my clients with respect and honesty. I care for my elderly clients as if were my own family. I'm great at what I do, from experience with so many different aspects of my career. Started as Lna in 2008 and continued my education to Mna and phlebotomy. I wanted to learn more about certain diseases and what happens to our bodies with age. My curiosity pushed me to learn more and take classes in Alzheimer's research and Dementia. To further understand my clients so I could help them the best way possible. Also to meet there needs. Every person is different and with age is change..its not easy for them I'VE LEARNED TO JOIN THEIR JOURNEY!
