Caring for others and their well being is a passion of mine. I have been in the medical field in some fashion for the past 40 years. I have extensive knowledge and experience with the in home care arena. My charge has included children with special needs, adults and seniors with varying medical complications. Trustworthy, reliability, and respectful are qualities of mine. I also possess the gifts of compassion, mercy and empathy; and have extensive experience in hospice care as well. Additional experience includes PT< OT<ST<RT.

In 2014 I started caregiving. It wasn't something I planned on doing or dreamed about. I was in need of a job and a friend introduced me to the position. I have loved it ever since. I love getting to know people and their life experiences. Everyday is something new. All the different care plans and people are exiting to me. This helps me learn something new regularly and keep things from being mundane.

My name is Ariel Bartlett and I have been a caregiver for six years now. I have experience in a wide variety of areas, including Alzheimer's and dementia, nursing home work, rehab facility work, treatments such as ostomy care and wound care, med aide work, and homecare work including hospice and end of life care in a full care setting and light care with transportation, cooking, cleaning and medication management. I feel my wide variety of experience makes me an excellent candidate for you or your family's caregiving needs! I am a quick and eager learner with a passion for health care and great service to the elderly. I will be starting to take classes as they become available in my area! *email and text is the best way to contact me-- Ariel.e.bartlett@gmail.com* Phone calls will be responded to as quickly as possible.

I became a caregiver simply because I love to help people! I love building long term relationships and companionships.

I was a certified nursing assistant and certified medication aid for many years when I was younger. I eventually went back to college and received a degree in social science but miss the interaction I had with the people that I cared for. I like to see the smile on peoples faces, the stories and know that I am helping someone to have a better day. I am skilled at dementia care, was nurse delegated to assist clients with medication oral and topical, stoma care, foot care, bathing and skin care. I am looking for part time evening and one weekend day shifts/work. I would like to find one family that needs ongoing care a few hours a week.

I've been in the healthcare field for about 16 years. I have experience with elder care and DD care. I have managed group homes and started my own in home care agency. I am very passionate about what I do as I feel I was put here on earth to make a positive impact for those I serve and care for. I feel that if I can somehow make someones life more enjoyable or bring a higher level to their quality of life then I have done my job. These are our parents, grandparents, friends and family who need quality care and I know when I am with them, they are receiving genuine love and care. It brings me joy to the positive impact I make in their lives.

I have been a caregiver since 2014. I started off working with mentally disabled in group homes, then onto working with elderly doing in home care. I have my CNA license, and I am also Certified as a Medical Assistant. I enjoy being a caregiver, and feel I serve a special purpose in helping others. I also am in a LPN program to further my education in nursing, & will be graduating this April, 2019.

I have been in this field for 23 years.. I absolutely love what I do. I take pride in the fact that I can help somebody stay healthy and happy with quality care, in their own home . I began my career in my teen years, taking care of my grandparents before their passings, and knew then, that this was my calling. The relationships and bonds I have been blessed to experience and be part of is unmatchable, being such a special part of someone's life is irreplaceable to me, and something I cherish. I take my job very seriously, and safety is always of #1 importance to me, for my clients as well as myself. I am professional, a problem solver, reliable, and can work with any level of care needed as stages may progress, as I have worked with everything... from companion care all the way to end of life, and medical care such as trach's and respirators, etc, and everything in between.

I am caring and full of energy. I have a ton of experience. I have been a CNA for six years and I am currently in nursing school. I enjoy taking care of people and putting smiles on their face. My greatest achievement is making it into nursing school. I started my work as a CNA because I helped take care of my disabled sister while growing up and my grandma was a nurse and she was a very caring person. She was an inspiration that I strive to be.
