Depression Caregivers in Overton - 51 caregivers found

A little over 10 years ago I got a call from my aunt while at work that my mom had almost fallen from a step ladder at my house. She was by herself and we had just lost my dad to his battle with cancer a few months prior so it was on that day that I quit my job as an event planner to stay home and care for my elderly mother. She has forever changed my view on the importance of caring for loved ones in times of need. My family lost a wonderful soul over a year ago and I find myself wanting to share my compassion, love, and assistance to other seniors who are in need because I believe in sharing this blessing with others to live each day to its fullest.

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I put my all into being an excellent caregiver. While I do not have any formal experience as one, I have much personal experience caregiving. My mother has a neurological condition which has severely hindered her memory and day to day functionality. I've been caring for her since I was a teenager. This includes but is not limited to: food preparation, medication reminders, cleaning, grocery shopping/running errands for her, taking care of her pets, providing emotional support, making sure she stays mentally active, and much more. Due to the personal nature of this job to me, I have no doubt I'd be an excellent caregiver to anyone in need. I'm empathetic to anybody who needs help and would love the opportunity to cultivate great relationships with them. Thank you for considering me for such a significant role!

My name is Melissa, I am 40 years old. I have over 10 plus years of experience working with the elderly. I am patient and kind and I love being with people. I love working and being the elderly.

Knowing that I have made a difference and assisted in another's life is all the reassurance I need

I have a heart for people! I truly enjoy serving people who are unable to care for themselves. I get satisfaction helping anyone in need. It makes me not only happy but also proud to put a smile on my clients and family face. And its definitely satisfying knowing I made their lives a little easier.

I have been working as a caregiver for more than 15 yrs. now. I am a certified medical assistant and I have worked for many years in that field, mainly in physicians offices, before getting the opportunity to work as a caregiver in a private home. I have cared for many people over the years and know first hand just how important it is for the client, as well as the family members to feel safe and comfortable with the person coming into their homes and tending to their loved ones.

My inspiration for becoming a caregiver came from my experience raising 2 children with developmental challenges. Both of them are wonderful, successful, independent and completely well balanced adults. When my autistic son was about 8, the doctors told me he would never be able to live independently. He now works with people with autism, has had a paper about autism published, has a computer repair business on the side, is a professional photographer, is a part of the Montavilla Emergency Warning Shelter, in Portland, OR working specifically with severe weather readiness, and is also street medic. My other son is in his senior year of college about to earn dual degrees in Elementary Education and Ministry, and is on the Dean's list. I realized that my passion was seeing the needs of a person and finding the right, personal method to create a healthy, successful and happy life for my clients, and never placing limits on what they can do. I have worked with a variety of children and adults with varied needs. I currently work with a senior who enjoyed scrabble and word searches, in their past they loved to do wood working so we do as much of that as they are physically able. My method is to get to know my client, their past hobbies, interests and then continue doing those activities (yes sometimes I have to get creative due to medical needs, my current client has some vision loss, so I have acquired a large, black and white scrabble set). Talking to seniors about their past is also enjoyable as is listening to their favorite music!

Im going to say as long as i can rember ive always been a giver and a helper. I love being me and helping others i believe i was born to do this, help. I am a go getter and a people person always. I am proud at 50 i went back to school to learn more in the medical field. I'm a patient person and thorough and reliable. I'm easy going and always pleasant and strive to please

What makes me a great caregiver is I love people. I take a personal interest in people. I am very caring, hardworking, understanding, patient, and spiritual. I am a humble person who will show your family member the love, respect, and care that they need to help them get better. I will always be there for support, I love making people smile .
