:)Hello their.Ive been an traveling certified nursing assistant for the past 10 years i am passionate about providing quality care and providing stimulating companionship , i am also charismatic, caring and calm,"I believe my most useful qualities in this role are patience and kindness. I've always had a giving personality and I like helping people. But I'd love to tell you a story of when , my grandmother was left alone and began having more and more trouble preparing her meals, bathing, and getting her groceries. So we found her a caregiver, She stayed with my grandma for longer hours than was expected--typically playing (her favorite music) . That was very soothing for my grandma, and that caregiver inspired me to join this field." I'm all about positivity, and setting the right mood for interaction is really important. I had an Alzheimer's patient once, and I established a simple daily routine from day one. I found that acceptance--with a bit of kindhearted, positive redirection (when needed)--was the best way forward. Because of all of my traveling iv had the opportunities to experiences many different scenarios such as, when with a client and they are refusing to take a bath ,eat or refuse to take their medicine ."I like to go by the three Cs--meaning, I always try to remain cool, calm, and collected. Of course, some situations can be tougher than others. But I think encouragement and open communication often help. For instance, I remember a senior patient I had who refused to take a shower. His bathing schedule was in the morning, so I wondered if he'd prefer to bathe at another time of day. Turned out that changing the schedule to late afternoons before dinner was more acceptable for him. I'd take a similar approach to meal or medication issues--emphasizing a sense of understanding to work out a solution."

I love working with people. I love helping and caring for the elderly. It's like caring for my own grandparents. I love having conversations and play board games with my clients.

My initial interest in caregiving began when I started caring for my Grandmother who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1987. I saw the difference it made in her life to have someone available and willing to help her with the things that most of us are able to take care of ourselves. We take for granted every day that we are healthy and able to perform these tasks. It is a blessing to have someone who is available to help us with these things when we are no longer able to do them. In my time as a caregiver, I feel that I have seen and helped with everything from the most basic needs to the most complex. There isn't much that scares me. I am easily able to let difficulties with even the most challenging clients slide right off my back. I have thick skin and I am not easily offended. When I accepted the position with Visiting Angels back in 2011, not only was I able to supervise a crew of approximately 65 caregivers but I had the opportunity to occasionally assist with filling in for those caregivers in the event of an emergency. Since moving here to Florida in late 2015 I have not had the opportunity to work directly with clients since my work now is mostly computer and phone related supervisory duties, remotely from home. I miss the hands on care and the one on one relationships that are formed when caregiving. I am very interested in helping to supplement my income while making a difference in someone else's life. Now that we have moved back to the Greenville, SC area, I am ready to get started!

I have 35 years of caregiving experience. Have taken care of patients from the age of birth to 101 yrs old. Worked with hospice care, psychiatrics hospital, parkinson's, cancer, the blind, cognitive problems, paralyzed patients, dementia and many other illnesses and diseases.
