Diabetes Caregivers in South Lake Tahoe - 28 caregivers found

I enjoy helping people, and comes very natural to me. In my spare time I enjoy swimming,biking, reading,and hiking.

I am very personable. I enjoy people and having conversation. I enjoy cooking and housekeeping. I am experienced as a CNA and would love to have the opportunity to be able to help in any way.

I have been a caregiver for over 8 years, I worked for a Senior Care Center for a little while before moving to South Lake Tahoe in 1989, as a CNA, I had 2 daughters and put my career on hold to raise them. I worked in a medical office for 5 years prior to taking off 3 months to care for my terminally ill sister. It was then that I realized caring for others was my calling. I quit my corporate job and started my caregiving career. I have always had a special love for the elderly community. Bringing a smile to their face and giving someone love is just so rewarding and fulfilling. I am loyal and very trustworthy and very hard working. I can't wait to meet your love one.

Contact me @(775-430-1824)Hi, my name is Rylee. I first got introduced to caregiving by my mom when I was younger. She would take me to work with her and let me help with the residents (mainly just talking with them at that age). Once I got older I tried a few different types of jobs, didn't like them, and then tried caregiving and realized it was the work for me. I love it. I get to build connections with the elderly (who I still enjoy talking to as much as I did as a kid), work in a homely environment, and do things I actually enjoy like cooking and cleaning. You can rely on me to be compassionate, attentive, hardworking, and personable with my residents and their family and visitors. I'm also great at keeping schedules (the alarm app is my best friend).

Hello, my name is Jacquelin. I am a loving mother of one. I am an extremely reliable very patient caregiver. (Available for overnights) I have had the pleasure of working with mentally disabled individuals for over a year, where I gained most of my caregiving experience. I am currently a caregiver for an elderly couple specifically dealing with dementia for 4+ years. This is an extremely rewarding field and I truly enjoy making a difference, and providing great quality of life.

Hi, my name is DeAnn & I come with over 20 years of caregiving experience with me. I have experience in memory care, special needs care, physical therapy, daily living care, wound care, medication tech certification, home health care certification, first aide & CPR certification, & I'm big into arts & crafts. I believe each person deserves the best care possible & each person is seen.

I love being a caregiver, because helping people especially elderly is a very rewarding job, someone need to help elderly and that's me, should help them .. Not everyone likes to be s caregiver but for me it's a very rewarding job. I feel good if I can make an elderly patient smile again and especially if they can get back in walking again . I was very proud of myself when a dementia patient of mine was back to her normal situation ( not exactly normal) but giving the medications on time and feeding or reminding her or him that it's time to eat will help a lot in getting better. Time management for the daily activities of the patient will help a lot in getting better for the patient well being . I considered myself as one of the best caregiver at my job now, and will continue to give my good care to the elderly until I retire .

People, in general, are born with specific qualities and gifts that, once found and expounded upon, open up a whole new universe of delight, joy, education, and fellowship. Over time, I discovered I was naturally gifted in being creative in the kitchen (via family/friends special diet needs), writing/journaling, and caregiving in all aspects of the word. My background in detailed administrative work, along with sign language, has allowed these two factors to interchange with each of my gifts, especially in communicating with family, powers-of-attorney, and the main person(s) I care for in any setting. My innate love to research and teach has proven to be very useful when I need to be well-versed on the subject at hand and document wherein necessary to show a pattern of improvement or lack thereof. From a caregiver perspective of personal achievement, three come to mind. FIRST, when my son became a Type 1 diabetic, we were able to allow him 1.5 years honeymoon stage on absolutely no insulin through a raw foods diet w/researched supplements. SECOND, I taught basic sign language commands to a three-generational family whose family member had ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), giving them all one year's worth of communication. THIRD, fire season brought two evacuations, two-weeks apart, back-to-back, which meant loading the five P's into the car, including a 95-year old disabled woman on 24/7 oxygen, with dementia, her adult cat in a crate with all his needs, and myself, driving to a nearby hotel/shelter without access to a handicapped or pet-equipped room for two days before returning (to our unscathed) home. Caregiving is a challenge in its own right. Having experienced grandparents and loving on elderly friends growing up, along with becoming a parent, too, certainly are perks. But of all the things I wanted to be when I grew up, a homemaker was one of the highlights for me, and caregiving falls in line with being a homemaker.

I have been in the healthcare field for about 15 years as a c.n.a with experience in hospitals & nursing homes. I am dementia & CPR certified. I have been doing this for a long time because I enjoy working with the elderly, learning from them, treating them with the care that they deserve. Excellent references available upon request.

I have been caring for seniors for over 10 years now. I love being able to give seniors the ability to stay in their homes, while getting assistance and companionship.
