Dementia Caregivers in Whiting - 4 caregivers found

Hello, I'm Tamika I live in Hoyt, Kansas. I've been a Certified Nursing Assistant since 2014 in the state of Kansas. Previously, I was a Certified Nursing Assistant/Medication Aide in Nebraska started in 2011, before becoming certified in Kansas. I really enjoy working with patients/clients who need assistance with activities of daily living, whether its getting up and ready for the day, medication reminders, ambulation assistance, meal preparation, or just compainonship. I became a Certified Nursing Assistant because I enjoy making someones day bright by just a simple smile. I'm a single mom of a 4 year old boy. I work August through May as a Special Education Para with visually impaired children, for local school district.

I believe that I am a good care giver because I am so easy to get along with and I just everyone. I decided to go in the direction of health care because I feel that it is almost second nature to me to help out where and when I can with being a mother of 4 kids. This asks what attracted me to the healthcare provision and to be honest in the very beginning it actually just kinda fell right in my lap. My husband because disabled and I was a stay at home mom with no schooling or work underneath me and it was time I had to help support my family. It was just the right timing that Kne-cap was running a program where they was helping people go through school to get them somewhere. I decided that was my opportunity and to grab it while it was available. I am proud of myself because I got both my CNA and HHA with the help and got a job and stuck with the first one and just loved my client. From there I decided to take it even farther and get my associates degree in Business Health while working full-time and being a mom of 4 small kids. I have no work history for this under my belt at this giving time.

Hi! My name is Paige Turner, I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant since 2011 and a Certified Medication Aide since 2017. I have worked in home health, but mainly nursing homes since then. My attention to detail making sure people are very comfortable is one of my best traits. I always make sure I give the kind of care to someone else's mother, father, or grandparents, as I would to my own. I love being able to make a difference in people's lives.

I was drawn to this field when I was younger, I would take care my father after his stroke and also my adopted grandparents on there death beds when I was in school still. I feel suited to this field because I am very caring, passionate, loving, understanding, kind, fast learner, and patient. I enjoy being a caregiver the most because when the client has made a acheviement and thwy are so pleased and happy, that's what motivates me more is seeing there happiness and them achieving, but also the stories they will tell of things that they have done is so pleasing to hear. When a client has made a achieved then I have met one my goals for that client. But if I can get a client to smile and have a great day then I have made my goal for that day.
