I love to assist people with everyday daily living skills. In me doing this I can help make sure they have a better quality way of life and they can enjoy it without the hassle of not being able to miss anything that they need. I can ensure that they get what they need and it warms my heart knowing that I can assist in that skill for them.

I majored in Social Work and have had a wonderful 27 year career of working with children, adolescents and the aging. I have worked at UVA hospital where I gained insight into the importance of maintaining good health and how devastating a disease or accident is on one's health and life. I have worked for department of social services and assisted the aging with receiving the services needed to remain in their home or to move into a facility. At this time, I am doing "hands on" care in people's home to assist them with various activities of daily living. My mother was bedridden for many years and I was one of her primary caregivers. I know the burden on family when caring for a loved one and the importance of support. My grandfather lived to be 96 and I was there for him to assist with shopping, meal prep, housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation. I cherish the times that I spent with my mother and grandfather caring for them. I also cherish the support I received from others.

I'm Caring, Compassionate, and Hard working. I became a caregiver when my Grand mother became ill. I wanted to give her the same care she gave us when my parents split. I always try to give a 110% and would do whatever it takes to make the clients feel as normal as possible. I've been a caregiver for over 20 years. My greatest accomplishment is to have taken courses for the L.P.N. curriculum. I want to make a difference in the lives I touch.

Greetings! My name is Dana, and I reside in Louisa County, near Lake Anna. All of my previous positions have been either in customer service or helping others. In regards to caregiving, I have experience working with folks in a home setting where I have done things such as; help with toiletry, grooming, meal preparation, helping with mobility (getting in and out of bed), companionship ( I play a mean hand of Rummy), and some exercise (taking walks). I have previous work experience as a CPHT (Certified Pharmacy Technician) and I'm trained in medication management, I would have no problem with medication management.

I love to serve people, in general. I feel a special call at this time in my life to serve seniors and I would appreciate the opportunity to share my skills and services helping your family member. I have more than 10 years of experience caring for seniors, including seniors with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. My tasks include light housekeeping, meal preparation and feeding, laundry, bathing and grooming, shopping and errands, escort to appointments/outings and companionship. I am certified as a Personal Care Aide and have completed the Nurse Aide program at the American Red Cross.

I am a compassionate caregiver. Love people I love what I do. My greatest accomplishment was graduation from bible Institute. I have years of experience with family and private clients. Flexible and dependable.

I have been taking care of people for 12 years. I have both cna and nursing experience. Caregiving is not just a job for me, it is my passion. I love helping people. I believe that our seniors deserve to be treated like Kings and Queens, they have worked all their lives. I'm blessed to still have 3 grandmothers, 3 grandfathers and one great grandmother alive. I cherish every moment with them. Along with my passion to be a caregiver, I am a hard worker. I don't mind going the extra mile when needed.

I'm a positive person. I always have a smile on my face. I am a greater listener and can keep a good conversation. I like to care for people. I imagine that the people i'm caring for are my own grandparents. A personal achievement I'm proud of is being the first one in my family to graduate from college.

I have great communication skills and am loving, kind, caring, compassionate and most of all patient. I can do whatever it takes to make your loved one comfortable which includes lite cooking, cleaning, running errands, medication reminders, bathing /dressing, companionship and feeding if necessary. When a loved one went into rehab after being in the hospital and finding that the level of care he received while in the nursing home was awful I swore I would help those who needed genuinely good care. I was able to witness those who were not treated fairly and could not speak up for themselves in these homes and family members who were caught between a rock and a hard spot not being able to be there or care for their loved one in their home, my heart went out to them. I love helping people and putting a smile on someone's face. My cases have involved dealing with dementia patients, patients with mobility issues, bed ridden, hospice care and just someone who needs a friend to listen and someone who really cares about them. I am proud to say that those families that I have cared for have been very happy with my services That puts a smile on my face and says I've done a job well done.
