Dementia Caregivers in Hesston - 4 caregivers found

I'm a new member of the Wichita community. My husband and I moved here from the Manhattan area where I worked as a para educator for 9 years. Needing a change, I worked toward my CNA,CMA, and HHA certifications. I have worked in Memory Care, Assisted Living, and Home Care and Hospice all of which I loved. I have an early work experience as an EMT,(no longer lisenced), and years in phlebotomy. I've also worked as a CNA in a surgical center in various areas of the building. I spent 1 1/2 years after we moved here, recovering from shoulder surgery and working in a preschool center while getting situated in our new to us house. We have two daughters, one is married with a 4 yr old and 8 month old and the other is a Jr in college at Bethel. I grew up a farm girl, spent valuable time with my grandparents, and have been involved in many activities myself and with our kids. My family has always come first and I have always worked jobs that would allow me to live and be in their moments as they were and are happening! We are total hands on grandparents to our grandchildren when needed and possible. I love flea markets, refurbishing furniture, I have my own picture painting site, yard sales, shopping, and being in our yard. My heart and soul are extremely down to earth and when I enter a clients home, they are what matters while I am there. Their comfort and happiness with my work, long after I leave, is important to me until I see them again.

I have been a CNA for 4 years and I love every moment of it. I love being able to help people when they are unable to fully achieve their daily lives and make it as easy as possible. I enjoy most seeing the smiles on people's faces and the happiness that comes from the little help I have done for them. I am very proud that I got my CNA and am about to start furthering my education even more.

I believe that people are a gift, I have an ability to bring the best out in people. I am able to listen and be able to tell my own stories to help people relate to me. I wanted to become a caregiver because my grandmother was in a nursing home and I saw how badly most people treated her and I wanted to be a person that others could count on. The biggest thing I enjoy about caregiving is the stories I learn, I love hearing about others lives and that even with the bad they still turned out good. My biggest achievement has to be, being a CNA at 16, and changing the lives of many people in doing so

I love being a CNA I've been a CNA for 10 years and I just love it. I love caring for others taking care them helping them enjoy life. I love to help them in there daily life events and let them enjoy life to the fullest. I am very good at organizing. I can handle a busy heckitic schedule and heavy task load. I'm a proud mom of 4 kids and love living life to the fullest . I love to smile and keep everyone around happy .
