I took care of my mother during her cancer. One on one care have time to give all a patient needs. I enjoy making a difference in a person's live. Taking care of a person for 8 yrs. And before they die tell me thank you for being there for him. I'm loyal.i always put myself in someone else's situation. And I give all the love and support I can give.
What makes me a great caregiver would have to be my patience, compassion, consideration, empathy, attention to detail and my love for others. I treat others with the same respect that I would want.
My mother was diagnosed with a savvier disorder for sleep apnea when I was only 4. 3 yrs later she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, nerve damage then formed from diabetes as well as sugar issues. 5 months later she was then diagnosed with lupus. She also had a fluid disorder, arthritis, obesity, blood disorder (polycythemia vera), She was never diagnosed but we believed she had formed dementia 1 yr before her death. I took on the responsibility of taking care of her at 17. When I was 18 she had to undergo a thrombectomy (surgery to remove blood clots). She had 1 1/2 gallons removed. When she came home I was her caretaker/caregiver for her surgery recovery. I took her to and from her appointments, helped her bath, fixed her meals, administered her medications and kept up with her medications and ran her errands. I would have to say this as well as the job I worked as a health aid has attracted me to be a great caregiver. I have also dealt with and still deal with epilepsy, My sister and my aunt have grandma seizures, my cousin has pseudoseizures ( not epileptic they are emotion stress induced).
What I most enjoy is the one on one bond that you gain from the resident you are caring for. This type of job gives someone a nice sense of respect, It helps one gain more knowledge and helps family's in need of help to get that help. It takes a lot for someone to leave there loved one with a stranger, I gain a sense of respect and honesty to be trusted with this individual.
A personal achievement that I am proud of would have to be taking care of my mom as well as being there for my sister, aunt, and cousin. There is a lot of health problems in my family and I am proud that I am the one that is able to help them.
I am a very dedicated, loving and ,passionate person. I treat my residents as though they were my family. I grew up around care giving, my mother has been a caregiver for 20+ years. I have always loved seeing the satisfaction my mother had from her job which inspired me to follow in her foot steps. There are so many things that make this a rewarding career, my personal favorite is the relationships you build along the way, to sit and talk to someone about their life and give them a friend as well as a helper. The highest achievement, I feel is the satisfaction of the family you are working for, as well as satisfaction of the resident. This is the main goal I strive for in my work
Hi! I'm Valeree. I'm an extremely positive person who enjoys the simple things in life. I enjoy conversations over a cup of coffee and getting to know people. I grew up as a military kid, which meant I moved around a lot! I am really good at meeting new people, and talking to anyone! I'm very soft spoken, organized, love routines!, and overall a warm person.
My Nana suffered from Dementia and she and I were very close. My daughter is named after her. She struggled with daily skills and I would like to be able to help others who may have the same struggles she had. My heart always leans towards older individuals. I enjoy hearing stories of their pasts, and letting them relive their life's experiences. I have cared for numerous children and now think that as my own children are older, I'd like to help elderly people as well. I know I would be a wonderful caregiver for an older individual. I would care for anyone as I did for my Nana.
I became a Caregiver to provide assistance to those in need.
I like being a Caregiver because it provides me with the satisfaction of truly helping others.
I am proud of the joy my clients feel when they see me.
I am a very empathetic and compassionate person.
My name is Jerame Simonds. I have been a CNA for 3 years in July. I enjoy what I do. I have been with the same place for 3 years. I just looking for a new opportunity and better pay I make 8.50 where I am now, and college is getting higher and higher.
Love enjoy being around my elderly, love my job you learned so much. I highly respect my job and the person I working for taking care of a elderly is my first priority. Love being a caregiver.
I've been a caregiver for 8-10yrs working with clients who has intellectual development disabilities children and adults, Elders and first time mothers who don't have support. I'm from California moved here 7 months ago, I begin my career as a caregiver for my older sister when I was a teenager as my mom got older she wasnt able to care for her like she normally would so I would help out. My sister passed in 2010 and I decided to do this professionally. I enjoy helping others and providing care for people who can't assist themselves or have family to help.
I am able to treat people the way I would want myself or someone in my family to be treated. I believe that I receive so very much more in my position as a caregiver. My heart is so full of gratitude whenever I end my day. Everyday is different and you have to be ready to go with what's happening at that moment in time. I am very flexible and dependable in that respect. I love a challenge and I love helping others that need the help. I think it is important though that you let them know that you are there to help do whatever they need help with, not there to tell them what or how to do it, make suggestions and always remember that they are still thinking, feeling human beings.
