COPD Caregivers in Wellington - 6 caregivers found

I am very personable. I enjoy people and having conversation. I enjoy cooking and housekeeping. I am experienced as a CNA and would love to have the opportunity to be able to help in any way.

Contact me @(775-430-1824)Hi, my name is Rylee. I first got introduced to caregiving by my mom when I was younger. She would take me to work with her and let me help with the residents (mainly just talking with them at that age). Once I got older I tried a few different types of jobs, didn't like them, and then tried caregiving and realized it was the work for me. I love it. I get to build connections with the elderly (who I still enjoy talking to as much as I did as a kid), work in a homely environment, and do things I actually enjoy like cooking and cleaning. You can rely on me to be compassionate, attentive, hardworking, and personable with my residents and their family and visitors. I'm also great at keeping schedules (the alarm app is my best friend).

Hi, my name is DeAnn & I come with over 20 years of caregiving experience with me. I have experience in memory care, special needs care, physical therapy, daily living care, wound care, medication tech certification, home health care certification, first aide & CPR certification, & I'm big into arts & crafts. I believe each person deserves the best care possible & each person is seen.

People, in general, are born with specific qualities and gifts that, once found and expounded upon, open up a whole new universe of delight, joy, education, and fellowship. Over time, I discovered I was naturally gifted in being creative in the kitchen (via family/friends special diet needs), writing/journaling, and caregiving in all aspects of the word. My background in detailed administrative work, along with sign language, has allowed these two factors to interchange with each of my gifts, especially in communicating with family, powers-of-attorney, and the main person(s) I care for in any setting. My innate love to research and teach has proven to be very useful when I need to be well-versed on the subject at hand and document wherein necessary to show a pattern of improvement or lack thereof. From a caregiver perspective of personal achievement, three come to mind. FIRST, when my son became a Type 1 diabetic, we were able to allow him 1.5 years honeymoon stage on absolutely no insulin through a raw foods diet w/researched supplements. SECOND, I taught basic sign language commands to a three-generational family whose family member had ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), giving them all one year's worth of communication. THIRD, fire season brought two evacuations, two-weeks apart, back-to-back, which meant loading the five P's into the car, including a 95-year old disabled woman on 24/7 oxygen, with dementia, her adult cat in a crate with all his needs, and myself, driving to a nearby hotel/shelter without access to a handicapped or pet-equipped room for two days before returning (to our unscathed) home. Caregiving is a challenge in its own right. Having experienced grandparents and loving on elderly friends growing up, along with becoming a parent, too, certainly are perks. But of all the things I wanted to be when I grew up, a homemaker was one of the highlights for me, and caregiving falls in line with being a homemaker.

I have been in the healthcare field for about 15 years as a c.n.a with experience in hospitals & nursing homes. I am dementia & CPR certified. I have been doing this for a long time because I enjoy working with the elderly, learning from them, treating them with the care that they deserve. Excellent references available upon request.

As a senior myself, I find I have rapport with my clients that younger caregivers usually do not. We become good friends. I am easy going, healthy, entertaining and a good cook. Families and I get along well and become part of the family. After retiring from owning a travel agency for 20 yrs., I was looking to find a part time position and fate drew me to caregiving. I enjoy interacting with people, and working in the travel field equipped me for this work. I am proud of obtaining my AA degree after retirement at 70. I am a portrait artist and enjoy painting as my hobby.
