Experienced caregiver

People often describe me as one of the kindest people they know. I believe I was put on this earth to help people, and caring for others is the way I choose to satisfy this calling. I was raised in a family that always went above and beyond for other people. As a child we often had someone staying in our guest room to help them through hard times and getting back on their feet. My mother is a pharmacist who owns our family business with my father. Working in and around the pharmacy has exposed me to people from all walks of life, and gave me the desire to work more hands on with patients. I have spent most of my life helping to care for my younger sibling with severe physical disabilities. In 2020 I began my first job as a PSS. I took care of one client full time, she had Lewy Body Dementia and was hospice. Here is where I found my love for memory care and end of life care. It isn't an easy job, and many people can't do it. But I love that I am able to give the gift of support and caregiving to my clients and families during these trying times. As I am also a licensed cosmetologist I also am happy to provide my clients hair with services, nail care, and skin care. With the risk of COVID-19 still widespread this is a perk many clients love as they don't have to leave home and expose themselves to receive these services. I am timely, reliable, and will go above and beyond to provide the best quality of care possible. I look at my job like this: If this was my parent, how would I want them taken care of? And that is the standard I hold myself to.

As a DSP for 6 years, I have always loved caring for others and improving the lives of other people in any way I can. Whether that be assisting with daily tasks, helping to achieve personal growth/goals, or just being able to put a smile on someone's face! I pride myself on being a kind and compassionate person.

I have been in the care field for the past ten years. I have worked with many populations including folks with developmental disabilities, dementia, brain trauma, mood disorders and schizophrenia. I have worked with all ages except for children (professionally). Art is my main passion and I have made art since my childhood, but as far as job positions, I have always found care jobs. Care is natural for me, I strive to honor the people I care for and am able to build a rapport quite quickly. My biggest joy about caring for others is that I learn an immense amount about different perspectives, experiences in life and get to connect with people that are often cast aside in our youth and perfection obsessed culture. An achievement; when I can truly apply the depth of care and respect that I give to people I help, to myself, that feels like an achievement for where I am right now in life. Helping people become or remain as independent as possible no matter how small a task, is also quite a good feeling.

I have been a care giver for over 25yrs. I enjoy making someone's else's life more enjoyable.

I have been in elderly care for 18yrs. From facilities to home care to private care. I am also a hospice trained. I love getting to know my consumers and who they were and are now.

I have been a care giver 27 years and have done everything from the range of in home care to nursing homes and hospitals.. I have experienced all types of patients as far as mental health, long term care, pre and post surgical care, telemetry care, special care , altimizers care and hospice care.

I am a great listener and observer. I am comfortable working with all ages. I have not been a personal caregiver, however, I am a natural caregiver in many ways. Throughout my career, I have chosen to work with people who need some assistance with either solving personal problems, or have difficulty in expressing themselves. I'm caring, naturally interested in people, and sensitive to peoples needs. My interest in working as a caregiver has more to do with providing companionship, listening respectfully, and sharing my sense of humor with others. I am patient and caring. My personal achievement that I am particularly proud of is raising a healthy, happy family.

Hello! I have been a caregiver for most of my life, and my career. I am a caregiver at heart and find that the most important thing in life is to be kind, work hard and take care of those placed in your path. I have been caring for the aged and those with dementia for over 25 years. In my past, I had a residential care home and an Adult Day Center and they were the best 15 years of my life! Caregiving allows one to be part of something bigger than yourself. Giving of yourself, whether it is a helping hand, assisting someone to do something they can no longer do by themselves, and providing care at a level of compassion and patience that one would expect if the shoe was on the other foot. To me, it's about what you leave behind - touch someone's life for the better.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others and giving back. What makes me great caregiver is my compassion and ability to put their needs above my own. I enjoy helping, but I also enjoy the conversations and sense of enjoyment I see from my residents. I'm most proud of my recent accomplishments of enrolling into college at 30 years old, for Mental Health and Human Services. My biggest accomplishment is hands down, my son who just turned 2 years old in May. Without him, I wouldn't have half of the ambition as I do today.
