Welcome to my "about me" section. First off , I love animals (not reptiles), I love doing all kinds of crafts, reading, learning new things, history & getting to know people one on one! I am a Christian who attends a local church & love to learn & do bible studies. (I'm not preachy but will converse or answer questions if you have them). I have a very bad SMOKE ALLERGY and can NOT work for anyone who smokes in the house. I have a mentally challenged son who has high functionality, lives, works & has a family and I also have a nephew who is Downs Syndrome, low functioning, & is non-verbal who I care for during my home time.( I will work his schedule around yours.) I love being able to create my own schedule with the work that I do. I have worked with all types of people in between since moving to Oregon 13.5 years ago. When I moved to Oregon I had a job waiting for me in this field because of my niece, who had introduced me to her employer during a vacation to visit her in the Spring of 2008. I never expected to love a job so much nor have I ever held a job this long. It was definitely a God thing. I have taken several trainings through my work for EOSSB (Eastern Oregon Support Services Brokerage) in different areas of care, helping me stay current on types of health problems people have & changing needs. I have earned several completion certificates for these including but not limited too bathing & grooming, toileting, managed care of diabetes (and other problems), medication monitoring/tracking, dementia (personal experience-family), cooking (meal planning), some cleaning etc. I look forward to taking more classes through Carelinx! and working for client/employers through this company.

I would love to make a difference in your one's life! I am 44 years old and am a mother who enjoys family. I love taking care of people and enjoy what I do. I like to know that I can make a difference in someone's life. Hopefully, I can be a perfect match for the care that you need. I am a highly recommended, personal care provider looking to provide assistance for a senior individual or couple in a family setting. I am very skilled, with over 15 years of experience. I provide services such as hygiene and personal care, medication reminders, companionship, grocery shopping, running errands, light housekeeping, pet assistance, as well as hobby assistance. I have experience with Alzheimer's and dementia as well for the last 6 years.

I became a caregiver because i really love taking care of people. I am a nursing graduate in the Philippines. So definitely i love healthe care jobs. I am a proud health care worker because my clients are happy when they are with me. They know i really care for them. . I am simple, responsible, hardworking, passionate person. I am not just working just to get money. I work with care and passion.

I have a certificate as a cna and have worked in different health care settings for 5yrs. I enjoy helping other people and providing patient care. My goal is to keep patient as safe and comfortable as possible while helping keep their rooms clean. I change linens and assist with medication reminders.

I think what makes me a great caregiver is, that not only do I love helping people to get their daily activities done, but I have a lot of personal experience caregiving. When I first got into caregiving I was taking care of a family member who was a paraplegic, and a home health nurse came one day and told me how good of a job and how fast I was at catching on to certain things, and that I should really look into nursing and that is exactly what I did. What I enjoy most about caregiving, is that it's never a dull day, and I can go home feeling good about myself that I had actually accomplished something good for the day. My Personal Achievement that I am proud of, from being a caregiver is that I finished getting licensed in the state of Washington, and was pregnant at the time I was doing it and working a full-time job with lots of overtime I would get at least 60 hours a week. And I got it done. Right now I am going to school to get my Healthcare Administration License because my long term goal is to, travel the US and research different city's that really need home care, and open some adult foster homes for those in need.

I have 30 years in healthcare and have also worked in the School district with Lifeskills students. I am HCA certified and have ALL my certs plus food handlers, fundamentals, CPR/First aide. I have worked with a variety of disabilities young and old. I love learning from the ones i take care of as well as helping them. Stephanie Birden

I come from a humble background and I have always had a heart for the elderly and the vulnerable. I love care giving and can't imagine doing any other more fulfilling job . I like the thought of giving back and making a difference to ones live even with a simple smile .
