Dementia Caregivers in Delmar - 173 caregivers found

My name is Leslie and I have been an active LPN for the past 52 years. The past 35 years I have been working with geriatrics. This past January 29, 2023, I finally retired from the full time work force. Before I graduated from high school one of my jobs was a companion for an elderly woman in our neighborhood. I was also a candystriper in our local hospital. I have 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren whom I can't get enough of! My husband of 34 years had a stroke 3 years ago this November and I am his caregiver.

Hi I'm 23 years old , and I've never thought I would want or love doing a job like this . I had sick family members that I would help take care of so I said I would give it a try and make a job out of it . Since I had this one client she's touched my heart and I loved it every since !!! I've been doing this for a little over 2 years and not sure what else I would want to do until I go back to school. I majored in biological science to be a forensic science technician. I didn't finish because of some family conditions. But until then I hope I can join a family and help take care of clients as best as I can and give them love and companionship that some are missing .

I am a caring and giving person. I treat my clients as if they are family with respect. I know how to reroute behavior if they are having a bad day. Being in a good mood around clients is what gets them through the day. I strive for them having a nice time. I became a caregiver when I worked for Cedar Lane Apts and the Director saw how I treated the Assisted Living. One client was difficult but she loved me so they ask if I can be her caregiver in 2003. I been doing it every since. I enjoy seeing the looks on my clients face when they are happy. I enjoy putting them in a good mood. I love our outings I'm proud that the families brag on me and the staff appreciated me. I'm proud that I got to sometimes put them to bed comfortable. I'm proud to wear my scrubs

I get along with anyone and everyone. I was attracted to become a caregiver when I was needed to help care for a few family members and I grew to love it. I enjoy being there to help in any way shape or form that I am needed. I am proud of being who I am an love that fact that I can share the love by helping others.

I've always known that I have a purpose in life and that is to help people .I am very compassionate empathetic kind . I can see and understand situations and feelings threw their eyes. I have several years professional experience and including personal experiences in health care. I understand the importance of getting the right person to take care of loved ones and help assist. I have a old school work ethic and I am very reliable also flexible with hours . I am a very positive and compassionate person. Sincerely Teena Papa

What makes me a great caregiver is because I'm an easy going person and understand others. What attracted me about being a caregiver is the smile that I bring into others face. I enjoy learning more about my client listening to their stories about when they were young how they use to be . I'm proud of being the first child to graduate in my family

As a long term caregiver, I am not only very loving and genuine, but I believe that entering into a career choice such as caregiving should be something that one is passionate about. I myself have grown up with family who have selflessly given their time, love and attention to others. I have a natural gift of helping and serving. I would never choose to care for people for just monetary purposes. I have helped care for people since I was a teenager, helping my mom with her clients. I honestly love to serve. I feel fulfilled knowing that I'm able to assist somebody. Being needed is my joy. It motivates me. I care about people's wellbeing as if they are my own family. I have served with a wide variety of people over the last 15 years. I worked in assited facilities, live-in care, and daily care. I have an extensive history with serving elderly and I love what I do. I am very easy to work with. I go above and beyond for people. I dont mind working long hours to help however I can. I look at caregiving as a lifestyle I would hope someone would give my family or myself when needed someday.

I'm a people person who is a very caring individual who love to help other's and is very detail oriented and has many years of experience caring for the elderly or Sick people which I enjoy doing and giving them tender loving care which is important for improving there health and life!!!!

Reliable, service-focused nursing professional with excellent patient-care and charting skills gained through seven years of experience as a CNA/GNA. Compassionate and technically skilled in attending to patients in diverse healthcare settings.

What makes me a great caregiver is I love helping others and making them smile. I like hands on work. I'm very responsible, respectful and dependable. I became a caregiver when I first started caring for my grandma who had dementia. the bond you have with your client and the family when you are a great caregiver is a great feeling. I feel that when im older, I would want someone like myself there to help if I need help. Being a caregiver is more then a job, you are responsible for another person's well being.
