Dementia Caregivers in Odell - 26 caregivers found

I'm a great caregiver because I take care of people with gentleness and kindness and dignity and respect as if it were my on family member.

I have worked in a caregiver setting for a little over a year now. With my aunt, and also in an assisted living facility. I enjoy what I do, and being able to help people who need it!

I have been doing home health care with my mom for Alzheimer's and dementia patients since I was 13 years old. I love helping people and helping them feel more comfortable. And still feel like they have their independence.

I grew up with a huge family, my mother was a Foster care provider, my dad was a Chief Fireman, I am the youngest of 8children, I grew up watching my mom take care of handicapped children my entire life, I always loved seeing how happy it made her to be able to help someone, even if it were just by giving that child love, I've grown to follow her footsteps and I just love being able to help someone if I can, even if can't make them better health wise, I can help them feel better emotionally, everyone deserves the BEST CARE POSSIBLE, that's why I love doing this job! I'm experienced in all aspects of Nursing, I've done pretty much everything expected, I am Certified in Nursing, I'm in school for Phlebotomy, I worked 15yrs in Dementia Care, as well as Alzheimers. I'm very fun to be around and love the new experiences with each client.

I've been a CNA for a year now. Ever since my grandpa was placed in the nursing home that's when I said I wanted to be in the health care field. I love what I do being able to create a bond with the residents, sometimes even be the only people they say everyday, or being their for them on their death bed is what means the most to me . I treat them all like they are family

I became a caregiver because I wanted to make a difference I love knowing I can give my patients the care and compassion they deserve I have been doing this for 15 years and went back to college at 54 and graduated with my CNA license at the top of my class I'm dependable compassionate and have great work ethics

I have many years experience with caregiving and have been in the health field since 1984. Always attending to those special needs of the client, with the upmost respect. Doing any tasks at hand, according to the care plan. To make sure, they know they can trust me and I am there for them. I helped taking care of my heavenly Stepdad and it made my heart whole. I would take care of others, just like they was family. I am very tentative and compassionate and want them to trust me. I love helping out others, in time of need. Is a position where it requires many hats and I have worn many. I have been there for many, until the end. To do my job that best that I can, to show them I care and see a smile, would complete my day.

I feel like what makes me a great caregiver is I put my clients or residents first. I care for them like I care for my own children. I chose to go into caregiving because at the end of the day I know I made a difference in their day making life a bit easier for them and giving them a better outlook on life knowing somebody is there for them. It's very hard for me to leave my residents because they have became part of my family, my family knows them all and even my children love my residents and my residents and coworkers love my family as well. I feel like I mainly chose this path because I wanted to be able to help others as much as others have helped and blessed me. If I can do it for my own family why not share my care with others who need it as well. It warms my soul to see my family and the people I support smile and feel loved because they know I truly care.

Absolutely adore the elderly. I received my CNA license in 2017 but have yet to use it. I did about 6 months of clinicals, gaining hands on experience not only in the classroom but through a nursing home facility. I am also CPR certified. I just want to be that one caregiver to make a difference.
