COPD Caregivers in Saint Hedwig - 297 caregivers found

I became a caregiver due to the fact my grandparents who both raised me both passed away in nursing homes. After I saw the care and how they were being treated, I made the decision to become a nurse assistant so I could possibly make a difference. I feel as though I have, I love what I do and couldn't see myself doing anything else. I'm a very compassionate person with a big heart and I truly enjoy helping others. I'm a good talker but a better listener and will do anything to make sure my patient is comfortable and taken care of emotional, physically, and personally. This is my calling and I have enjoyed these last 11 years doing this.

I am a retired nurse with experience in geriatrics, pediatrics, mental health, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia. I am certified in many areas of nursing and fluent with many medical equipments including oxygen. I am very out going and love to laugh, cook, do laundry(yes, really!), And I take pride in my work.

I became a caregiver for my grandfather in 2013. In the beginning the need for my assistance was little. I did some light cooking, cleaning, running of errands and other small tasks he requested. Over the next couple years I took on more and more responsibility and in 2015 he had an accident that left him unable to remain out of bed for longer than a few minutes at a time. From this point I happily took on the responsibility of being his full-time and full-service caregiver. I took care of virtually every aspect of his daily life and began additionally helping him with transportation to and from doctors appointments and physical rehab/therapy, as well as mobility and grooming, yardwork and maintenance, vehicle repairs, and a number of other things that he had a tough time with after the accident. I found this experience to be extremely rewarding, allowing me to use my knowledge and understanding of his health complications to help him live an easier life when things got too difficult to do on his own. This in turn allowed me to develop a deep-rooted and long-lasting relationship with the man I admired for such a long time. Through the course of my 8 years as my grandfather's caregiver, I was able to develop and refine personal and professional skills that made daily tasks and activities easier and more efficient for both of us. Patience and understanding, sense of urgency, responsibility, reliability, respect and effective communication skills were some of these. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to take care of my grandfather and would enjoy the opportunity to provide the same level of assistance to other families in need.

Hi, what makes me a great caregiver is that I'm very dedicated to caring for seniors , very reliable and am able to follow through task . Whatever is needed I will get the job done going above and beyond because I have a passion for taking care of seniors and assisting them with their ADL's in everyday living. When I was younger I took care of my grandfather when he couldn't do certain things on his own anymore I enjoyed assisting him with whatever he needed done so this is the reason why I am attracted to being a caregiver. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver are being able to help the elderly that cannot do most things by themselves and also still giving them their independence if they still can do with a little assistance I standby for precaution to prevent falls or them hurting themselves while trying to be independent. It makes me happy to see them smile everyday knowing they have a great caregiver by their sides. My personal achievement that I'm proud of is that I been caring for the elderly for over 18 years and I soon would love to get in nursing school for RN so I can be a hospice nurse.
