Depression Caregivers in Palacios - 18 caregivers found

I have been a Caregiver for approximately 10 years. I love what I do and believe if you dont have a calling for this type of work then dont do it! I have always been very easy going and work with my clients for any situation.

My name is Kathleen and I have been caring for infants and adults for over 10 years. After graduating High School, my grandmother became ill and needed a full time caregiver. I wasn't sure how I would do but it didn't take long to realize I enjoyed taking care of others. Soon after my children were born I began working at a daycare, so that I would be able to take my children with me to work. I enjoyed taking care of infants and toddlers, but as my children got older and started school full time I decided to apply at an assisted living facility. After working there about 6 months I decided this would be my career path. I took an accredited course to become a certified nurses aide and began working at a skilled nursing facility. I have heard so many memories and stories from my sweet residents, and the joy on their faces make me feel like I am making a difference.

I am a genuine individual who loves to care for the well being of others.

Caregiving made an impact in my life when my Uncle and Great Grandmother needed help in the last phase of their life. Both at different times came to stay at my home as I tended to their daily needs until passed. Seeing the happiness a little help from a smiling face brought them is something that brings tears to my eyes to this very day. I am a mother to a 5 year old special needs daughter as well. Her daily needs must be met in a more specific way than others. From a very young age caring for those around me has always been a part of my life, and I'd like to make a difference in your daily life as well.

I enjoy helping others feel joy. When I began my journey as a caregiver in 2008, I worked with alzheimer's patients. To brighten the moment and see a twinkle in their eye was rewarding beyond words. I spent 7 years with that facility. I moved to mental health and expanded my caregiving far further by attending the adolescent, adult and geriatric patients. My joy in giving resulted to being promoted into activities coordinator. I left to accept a position as Activities Director. Finding my greatest reward after being recruited to work with a hospice team ! My passion for positive activities helped this team open doors and gain patients from many nursing facilities. Caregiving gives back so much!

Very kind and compassionate Have been caregiving for 20+ yrs CPR certified I enjoy caring for and interacting with a variety of people, but I am very partial to Seniors. Finding out their likes and dislikes and being able to take care of them in a compassionate manner, talking with them and listening to them has afforded me joy in learning about them and letting them know they still have so much value to the world. Recently I have been working privately for families, so this system is new but good. I feel comfortable and able to contribute to their health care plans while sharing information with the family .

I have been a caregiver 26 years. I have experience working with elderly and disabled patients. I have learn to communicate with nonverbal people to know their needs and wants. I'm a very compassionate, caring and outgoing person. It's important to me that my clients/ patients are comfortable; well cared for. I became a caregiver due to having a daughter with disabilities.

I honestly went right in to provider as a young 19 yr girl. This is my calling always will be to make someones day with just a simple gesture or a smile. I think what attracted me as young girl that cared totally 100 percent was just living the life I had and pushed myself to be a bigger and better person,I lived with my grandmother and then she lived in the nursing home and I would always go and be with her and the residents. I appreciated my life by viewing what others lived...Sometimes not so fortunate. Will I enjoy being a care taker to brighten someones day with a act kindness and just being myself...knowing I made a difference in someones Day. My personal acheivment I Made was always knowing that everyone knew that I worked with. Bosses Case managers Nurses.Doctors friends that I totally would Give 100 percent of me rather if it came out good or bad I was always viewed as A great employee and Friend ...Giving a 100 percent of me...

I consider myself a positive, attentive and very nurturing person. I love helping people. I have a weakness when it comes to caring for others. What has mainly attracted me to caregiving was taking care of my grandmother until my grandfather was able to retire. I would love to potentially get my CNA license in the near future. I adore interacting with people in general and would love to meet you!
