Hi i'm Erica! I have been a caregiver in an assisted living facility and also private homes. Most of the people i have cared for all wanted the same thing. They want to feel useful and wanted even tho they need help completing everyday task. Letting a client do something for themselves with only small assist helps keep their minds sharp and helps them feel a little more independent! I enjoy seeing people feel accomplished and happy.

I enjoy learning about my clients and their experiences throughout their lives and I feel that's the main thing I was looking for coming into this line of work. Building a rapport with all of the patients and residents I've worked for is the most rewarding experience I've had still to this day I'm in contact with some of the first residents I ever had I'm here to not only be a caregiver but as well a friend and companion.

I'm polite, respectful, and professional, both at work, socially, and in my personal life. My dad was a RN (he was a nurse practitioner) and has always told me stories, it always stayed in my mind, because one day I'll have grown old, and in need of assistance. I just hope the person to take care of me has the same perspective, and compassion that I would for anyone that I were to take care of. I would also love to have conversations with our elders because there's a lot of wisdom to be gained

What attracted me to being a caregiver is my joy i get for caring and helping for others which is why I'm majoring in nursing. I enjoy most about being a caregiver is to help with whatever the patient needs even if it's a listening ear. My personal achievement I'm proud of is recovering my phlebotomy certification, i soon hope to receive a certification as a CNA.

I'm 39 years old and I enjoy gardening, doing nails, cooking and art. I have 2 teenagers, my son is 16 and my daughter is 18. I have always had a passion for taking care of seniors. When I was a child, probably 6, I learned that the old lady that lived across the street I thought was just a school teacher, was actually an escapee of Bonnie and Clyde. I would go sit with her everyday. And when I was 10 I started taking care of her because I noticed the ladies that were there were stealing from her and not giving her proper hygiene cleaning or feeding her well. I took care of her until I was 16. Then her family has come to stay with her because she was fading away. But there were other elderly on my street I cared for growing up. And they are the reason I am so drawn to caring for the elderly. I enjoy sitting and talking to the people I care for. They are wise and they have many stories. And they love to tell everything they've been through and learned. They truly care about people and their well-being. I see caregiving as a type of gratitude and I enjoy doing crafts or anything with them. I like to make them feel good about themselves. I am not a perfect person. No one is. We all make bad choices and go through hard struggles in life. Personally, I am proud of myself for all I've overcome. I have come a long way. Not every day is easy but every day is conquered. So many people judge others before they hear their story. The love of the elderly and their willingness to accept and trust in a stranger to come in and care for them is overpowering in my mind. They demonstrate the kind of love we should have for one another, whether they be a stranger or not and I admire them for that and so much more.

I am outgoing, energetic, and full of compassion. I give 110% in all I do. I became a caregiver at the age of 15 when my neighbor fell ill and I've loved it and have been doing it ever since.

Hi I'm Allison, I'm a very fun loving, caring, responsible and trustworthy person... which is the reason I thought about being a caregiver. Also my grandma was a caregiver for over 8 years for an elderly woman with dementia and I was around enough to see how much of a positive impact my grandma had on that woman's life and I want to be a part of something like that.

I am a medical assistant.. I love being around people and helping other who need or can't do for themselves .. I am so proud that every client that I have came in contact with love me it's a big accomplishment knowing you can make your clients happy
