MY NAME IS MARIA, I BELIEVE TO BE A GREAT CAREGIVER. I FIRST STARTED AS A CAREGIVER WHEN MY SON WAS A VICTIM OF A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT, HE WAS BADLY INJURED WITH HEAD TRAUMA , HE WAS 4 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. IT WAS VERY HARD FOR ME BUT I HAD TO HELP MY SON, SO I LEARNED HOW TO DO RANGE OF MOTION WITH HIM. I LEARNED HOW A GASTRONOMY TUBE SITE WAS TO BE CLEANED AND HOW TO FEED HIM AND GIVE MEDICATION THROUGH HIS G-TUBE AND FLUSH IT, HOW TO TRANSFER HIM FROM THE BED TO THE WHEELCHAIR AND THE WHEELCHAIR TO THE CAR AND THEN I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF MY GRANDFATHER WHO HAD DEMENTIA AND GOUT. I ENJOY CARING FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE BECAUSE I LIKE MAKING OTHERS SMILE AND MAKE THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE. BEING A CAREGIVER IS SOMETHING I LIKE TO DO HELPING THEM WITH THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE. A PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT I AM PROUD OF IS EARNING MY CNA LICENSE.

Skills & Certifications: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

I have been a caregiver for about 6-7 years and a CNA for about 2. A good friend of mine needed help with a lady who had Alzheimer and I had no experience at all. They say the best way to learn is through doing, and I couldn't agree more. I learned many great traits along my journey as a caregiver. I am a very patient, calm, and giving person. I enjoy helping my patients with activities of daily living and assisting them with any needs they may have like toileting, transportation, medication reminders, etc. Being a caregiver is a very rewarding job. To be able to help someone makes you feel good about yourself, and the relationships you build along the way make it all worth it in the end . I stared as a caregiver, not knowing anything, to now being a Certified Nursing Assistant, to now working on my nursing degree. I love what I do and take it very seriously. I am an honest, hard working, caring and trustworthy.
