Dementia Caregivers in Bristol - 19 caregivers found

Experienced caregiver

People often describe me as one of the kindest people they know. I believe I was put on this earth to help people, and caring for others is the way I choose to satisfy this calling. I was raised in a family that always went above and beyond for other people. As a child we often had someone staying in our guest room to help them through hard times and getting back on their feet. My mother is a pharmacist who owns our family business with my father. Working in and around the pharmacy has exposed me to people from all walks of life, and gave me the desire to work more hands on with patients. I have spent most of my life helping to care for my younger sibling with severe physical disabilities. In 2020 I began my first job as a PSS. I took care of one client full time, she had Lewy Body Dementia and was hospice. Here is where I found my love for memory care and end of life care. It isn't an easy job, and many people can't do it. But I love that I am able to give the gift of support and caregiving to my clients and families during these trying times. As I am also a licensed cosmetologist I also am happy to provide my clients hair with services, nail care, and skin care. With the risk of COVID-19 still widespread this is a perk many clients love as they don't have to leave home and expose themselves to receive these services. I am timely, reliable, and will go above and beyond to provide the best quality of care possible. I look at my job like this: If this was my parent, how would I want them taken care of? And that is the standard I hold myself to.

I am a 25 year old stay at home mom to a 10 month old daughter. I am pss certified since 2018 and love providing care to the elderly.

I love being a caregiver because I enjoy helping people. I've been in healthcare since I was 16 years old, starting off as a dietary aide and then furthering my career in a long term care facility where I got my CRMA license. I'm a very outgoing and talkative person, I think that is what makes me a good caregiver. Not to mention i'm always reliable, i'm always somewhere when i'm supposed to be.

My daughter was born legally blind with learning disability's as well as a post transplant patient. My father in law has dementia. I cared for one of my friends mother for over a year with Alzheimer most rewarding part of my life I would say I have the patience and kindness . Empathy and time to talk. Love biggest factor. I was both my parents caregivers at the end of their lives with the help of hospice.

I have been in the care field for the past ten years. I have worked with many populations including folks with developmental disabilities, dementia, brain trauma, mood disorders and schizophrenia. I have worked with all ages except for children (professionally). Art is my main passion and I have made art since my childhood, but as far as job positions, I have always found care jobs. Care is natural for me, I strive to honor the people I care for and am able to build a rapport quite quickly. My biggest joy about caring for others is that I learn an immense amount about different perspectives, experiences in life and get to connect with people that are often cast aside in our youth and perfection obsessed culture. An achievement; when I can truly apply the depth of care and respect that I give to people I help, to myself, that feels like an achievement for where I am right now in life. Helping people become or remain as independent as possible no matter how small a task, is also quite a good feeling.

I have been a care giver for over 25yrs. I enjoy making someone's else's life more enjoyable.

Enjoy working with the elderly,mentally challanged,Alzheimer's they tend to be able to make me feel good about what I do when we accomplish even the smallest hurdle to you may be small but there expressions and behaviors show you totally the opposite also when they talk about their past some of the stories are very interesting it makes you think twice about your way of life

I have been in elderly care for 18yrs. From facilities to home care to private care. I am also a hospice trained. I love getting to know my consumers and who they were and are now.

I am a caring person I've been a care giver for about 3 years and my grandmother was a caregiver for over 30 years and taught me all I know besides being a medical assistant and other trainings . But caring for others loved ones brings me so much joy.
