I am loving caring outgoing always willing to learn something new willing to go above and beyond I have patients I listen to my patients I respect your decisions and just give them a lot of companionship .What attracts me to being a caregiver is just helping someone that can help their self and know that they appreciate that letting them know that there still are good people out there that don't take a vanish of them and that's willing to make the days better and brighter

I am a dedicated State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA/CNA) with over 15 years of experience as a caregiver and have provided care to individuals in different settings. I value integrity and compassion as key in pursuit of my career and strive to achieve this with the principle of treating people how you want to be treated. I started caregiving as part time while in college and it turned out to be a humbling and rewarding career for me. Humbling in way that it has made me to appreciate life, and rewarding for being a part of making someone's life better.

I love to help! My mother was is need of in home care and our family hired multiple people before I quit my job to do it myself. I attended school to become certified I picked up a lot of knowledge but the most important was to keep my mother and clients in the least restrictive setting as possible treating them always with dignity and respect not a babysitter or someone telling them what they can and can't do. Compromise is key in any relationship especially client and caregiver! This has been the most rewarding and heart warming position I've held other than being a mother!

Approximately 15 years ago, I became my mother's Caregiver after she came home from Rehab for a major stroke. After working in a Family Medical office for a couple years, I began my Caregiver career. In the past 10+ years, I have worked as a Home Health Aide and CNA, providing many services to families and their loved ones, including (but not limited to) Alzheimers, Dementia, Quadriplegic, and Hospice Care. Services provided include companionship, transportation, meal prep, feeding, light housekeeping, pericare, input/output, taking and recording vitals, catheter care, colostomy care, medication reminders, assistance with bathing, showers, dressing, transfers, wound care maintenance, and oxygen maintenance. My special focus has been with Alzheimer's and Dementia care. I am a CNA and certified in CPR and First Aid, and continue to work on completing additional medical courses and pursue avenues to help strengthen me as a Professional Caregiver. I also maintain current Individual Professional Liability Insurance. Your loved ones peace of mind, comfort and health is my priority.

I am a very caring person. I chose to be a caregiver because I love helping anyone and everyone.

I am patient, can listen and adapt to different personalities. I enjoy understanding how a patient feels and putting myself in their place. I wanted to be a caretaker to help as many people as I can. I love meeting new people and helping out wherever I can. I enjoy being a companion to a patient and helping out any way I can. A personal achievement I am proud of is when my patient was angry at me for 2 months because she has Alzheimer's and thought I had locked her out, I apologized many times everyday until she realized she had been angry for no reason and apologized. I was very happy for not becoming angry even when she was yelling and apologizing many times although I hadn't done anything wrong. My ability to understand where she was mentally helped me to grow and care even more about her.

I'm a great caregiver because I'll make time to sit and listen/learn about a person. I'll go that extra mile to make sure their wants and needs are met. I love being able to gain that bond with someone and seeing their faces light up when they see me.

Smart goofy intelligent open minded organized above and beyond having a love for the elderly's companionship I've got to all my fears and became aware of my surroundings I have a CPR /AED, and home health aide certificate, and I have a temporary nurse aide certificate

I'm a compassionate person that loves people and animals. The joy I can bring to others gives me so much happiness. I've provided care both professionally and personally to a variety of need levels. As the oldest of 3 girls and a Mom that worked as an RN doing 12 hour shifts, I learned caregiving from an early age and realized it was my calling. I'm a proud Ovarian Cancer survivor and very grateful that I have lots of living left to do! I love to learn new things and continue to take college courses each year to exercise my mind. Thanks for reading about me!
