Dementia Caregivers in La Grange - 57 caregivers found

I've been a caregiver for more than 30 years. I care about people and I feel like God has given me a gift. I love to talk so I pretty much can get a patient to try must things that a family member can't get them to to to. I love to read and interact with them if it's just a game cards.

I worked for the IRS for 16 years in customer service. I took great pride in the fact that no matter how angry or abusive taxpayers could be I never took it personally and by the end of a call I had calmed them down and took care of their issues until they were satisfied and sometines actually grateful. I raised three children by myself and a niece as well. They all turned out to be honorable, self relient and good parents and citizens. I have always tried to be true to myself and always do what is right. When I was 16 yrs. old I worked in a tiny hospital in Joplin Mo. I helped in the emergency room, labor and delivery and on the wards. I was a 'nurses aide' and we did functions that are know done only by professionals, such as positive pressure, inserting catheters and sonar treatments. I'm just grateful I never hurt anyone!!!

I am capable of being a great care giver because I am attentive and not judgemental. I became a caregiver by accident, my mother lost her memory with little warning, (she was handing her own affairs well and within a few days she was incapable of managing her own affairs), and soon after lost her ability to walk, at the time I was unemployed and so became a caregiver. In spite of not having given this line of work any previous consideration. Becoming a caregiver for people outside my family acquainted me with how other people lived. My interest has always been people and spending a considerable amount of time in homes, allows me insights that other jobs don't give. Growing up I always enjoyed my grandmother recalling the life experiences that made her the type of person she was. I take pride in being a unique individual and not being just like everyone else. I am not just a member of a collective.

I'm a great care giver cause I actually care about the person I'm taking care of. Been in the business for over 15 years. Have worked in side people homes but have also worked at nursing homes for a long time also.

I would be a great caregiver due to having to take care of my Grandma since I was pretty young. She suffered from depression, dementia, then Alzheimer's. She needed a lot of care. I also love people and helping others. My Grandma Giving someone companionship and helping them. The feeling they get when they see that someone cares about them. Being a Wife, Mother, and a Granddaughter

Good Day to You!! I would describe myself as down- to - earth, good-natured and upbeat. I enjoy people and animals, I love a good story, music and travel. I am the oldest of four girls and a natural nurturer. I have always worked in service either health care or customer service. A recent achievement I am proud of us acquiring Level 3 instructor status in CPR, First Aid and Emergency Medical Responder Instructor. I will do my very best to ensure comfort and safety while you are in my care.

As a caregiver i enjoy listening to the clients life story and trying to relate to things that they have experienced in the past. They pass on their wisedom and experience of life to us as caregiver. And being able to make your client feel like they are still important is just an amazing experience. To see them excited when you walk in always makes me smile.
