Dementia Caregivers in Florence - 103 caregivers found

I am a open minded, emphatic, and understanding individual who is reliable. I have worked in child welfare. When I left the career, I brought one of my clients home to provide him with daily living services until he graduated high school and went off to college. I was a behavioral health case manager for individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses. I assisted them 8n the areas of housing, finances, mental health, chemical dependency and social supports. During my college years, I worked as a caregiver for Home Instead. The agency allowed our Senior Clients to remain in their home while in recovery or simply struggling with various psychological and or physical disabilities. I love most to help individuals in what area they may need assistance in. A personal achievement I am most proud of is gaining a B.A. while being a single parent.

I am a care giver at heart! I have always been the nurturer of the family. I have 17+ yrs experience with caring for the elderly. 13 of those years specializing in Alzheimer's and dementia care. I learned from my previous residents' that it's important to have a sense of humor in this field of work, which I can think I'm a comedian some days! I never knew this work was meant for me until it just fell into my lap one day and was told by many I was a natural. I find it very rewarding seeing my patient's happy, see someone relieved of their pain, or just making that special bond or friendship after earning their trust. Whether it be just for a moment in each day, to see that I made my patient's life a little bit easier for them-makes caregiving so worthwhile. Something I have achieved would be staying in this field of work for so many years. There are people that simply aren't capable of doing the "dirty work" that comes with the job title. I can admit sometimes there will be "bad days,"but will always realize that at the end of the day- the good outweighs the bad....

I am a 50 year old single mom. I am looking for work and interested in helping others. I have a degree in Social Work and would enjoy the opportunity to stay in my field of work of helping others.

Hello Everyone, I'd like to think I'm a compassionate, patient, and understanding individual. I love working in the healthcare industry because of the fulfillment I receive from feeling like I'm truly making a difference in individuals/families lives. I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind going out of their way to put a smile on somebody's face. Everybody no matter their age or disability should feel loved, cared for, needed, wanted appreciated valued. My skills and experience as a caregiver allow me to do that. So if your searching for just the right person to care for your loved one then feel free to send me a message. I'd love to speak with you and potentially join your care team!

I have the knowledge and experience in home health care, examples are: housekeeping, meal prep, medication reminders, transporting client to and from doctor appointments as well as grocery shopping. I have a high work ethic and I'm known for being patient and reliable.

A few things about me are I am an extremely outgoing person, I love to make people smile and feel joy! I became a caregiver soon after I became a mother because I developed a passion for helping others and bring laughter around. Being a caregiver is more than a job to me, my residents become my family and I love looking out for them. Caregiving showed me the path I wanted to be on and helped me decide what I wanted to do with my life, I have pushed myself to lengths I didn't even know possible; and for that I'm beyond proud.

I believe it is essential to have patience when working with the elderly. When the well-being of an elderly individual depends on your presence you need to be there. Compassionate, supportive, supportive, and creative are all very helpful as well. I grew up with my mother and grand mother both working in the hospital as ICU nurses. My first real job was a caregiver at a small assisted living center. I absolutely fell in love caring for the elderly.

I like working with elderly people because it's rewarding to me and they appreciate the things you do for them.
