I am a good listener, trustworthy and very dependable caregiver. Since I have been a caregiver, I feel like my client are part of my family, I feel good when I help/ assist them with what they use to do and cannot do it any more. I am proud to know that at the end of the day I did my best to change someone's life and I am appreciated.

Hi. I not only have been doing this for as long as I can remember but I have been doing this since my nana passed away, last year. It's an a amazing feeling to enjoy your clients company and to enjoy the talks and bonding you do with them. It's about giving back for me that's why I got into this. I want to remind the people who are age so gracely before us that not all of this generation is corrupt. I don't just go to a job. I go enjoy time with "Sam." Or "mary." Whoever is my client I go to spend time with them so I can help them.

I first became a caregiver in 1989, taking care of my foster grandmother. I was with her until her last breath in 1992. From there I took care of my son who was terminally ill with brain cancer. He passed in Nov. of 1993. I started working Home Health as an attendant in 2001 with Oxford in Joplin and then with Independent Living. I moved to another state and worked as Dietary Manager for an Assisted Living facility. My dad became ill in 2009 so moved back to Joplin to care for him and went to work for Independent Living Center from 2010- 2014. I worked taking care of my father fulltime from 2015- 2017 when he passed. I am a go getter done gal who loves working with the elderly or any age needed. I have not worked since Sept of 2017 when Rheumatoid Arthritis took control of me. I would love to work part time preferring the afternoons and or evenings. Mornings are hard for me until medicine kicks in and movement begins.(humor) I am able to do most tasks except heavy lifting, and tight gripping. I love working and miss it so but physical labor all day is impossible for me I am sad to say. Would love to prove that I can carry on with meal prep, household duties, bathing, and numerous other tasks. I am very personable, and compassionate.

I am A very high energy loving happy person! I am very driven. I am also careing and very respectful. I tend to go above and beyond for my clients.

First off I am a huge hearted person! I don't need many strangers and my love for other individuals shines Bright through everything that I do. I'm very detail oriented and always willing to jump in and learn something new do what it takes to complete the task at hand as thoroughly and as efficiently as possible. And being a caregiver has been something that I have done most of my life my mother worked in the medical field and started in respiratory and moved into her MD license and so growing up in that type of environment it was just something that came naturally to me. Being a caregiver is just an extension of my family basically, is what that means is that I take those that I'm providing care for and love them and care for them just as much as I would is if they were a member of my family. What I love most about being a caregiver is simply that I am able to help somebody in need and not for me is the most rewarding feeling that I could receive from the position.

I became a caregiver because, I like helping and taking care of people. I like to meet the patients and hear about their life and background. I am pride of my achievement of being a single parent and raising my kids up right. I am a quick learner, I am very flexible. I'm looking for a morning shift or an overnight shift. But right now I'm open with my shift. And I am flexible with my pay rate also.
