What I love most about being an caregiver is that I love making a difference in others lives

I have worked as a caregiver for over twenty five years. Starting out with an agency that I worked with for seven years. I then went on to work at a school for children with developmental disabilities. I was also there for seven years. I went on to work as an independent caregiver for a man for eleven years until his death. I am currently working with a ninety year old female who is suffering with Dementia. I have been with her two years next month. She is being placed in a memory care facility soon. Every one that I have worked for has been happy with my service and will provide recommendations upon request. I think some people are just natural caregivers. It is what I enjoy most. I am compassionate, patient, and willing to do what ever is necessary to provide safety, and comfort. I treat clients the same way I hope to be treated someday as a senior.

Some personality traits that I have and have been told by fellow coworkers is that I am a sweet caring and loving person. I make sure my job is done and that I live to make sure that my patients are satisfied with their care and well taken care of. Also I am always on time when needed. What attracted me to be a health care giver was when my grandma had to get open heart surgery and I helped take her to the bathroom and everything else, then from there my mom got diagnosised with lung cancer and just recently passed away last year. What I enjoy most about being a care giver is seeing my patients smile because it lets me know they are happy and they enjoy my company. My personal achievements that I am proud of is being employee of the month a few times at the hospital and having patients nominate me for being a good care taker.

I have been in the healthcare field six plus years. I also come with recommendation. I'm med certified and home health certificate.

I became a caregiver in 2001 because I like to take care of people. When I moved back to Ohio with my daughter. We moved in with my grandmother. This is where I got my start in home care. I remember how my grandmother went from a very active person to someone who needed help with everything. I loved taking care of her and helping her be the person she used to be. It is what I was born to do. I hate to see people in pain of any kind. I believe there is worse pain in the pain of going from a independent person to a dependent person. I like to help people lead full happy lives no matter how long or short they have. Everyone deserves to live their life with dignity and respect. I look at everyone I have taken care of as family. They are my grandmother or my grandfather and I treat them just like I would have treated my family. I don't want anyone to feel like they are a burden on their family. I want to help them feel like they are a vital part of the family. I went and finally took the STNA classes last year (2013) but I have been doing everything I learned in that class long before I took the class.

I truly believe that care giving is my calling in life. I have spent 20+ years as an Administrative Assistant in the corporate world and for small companies. I started my career as a caregiver on a part-time basis and fell in love with the work. I knew that I was comfortable with the elderly at a young age, as they were always in my life. I am passionate about taking care of them, listening to what they have to say and making a difference in their life. I am a nurturer by nature and it is important to me to now share that gift with those who need it most. I am the youngest of nine (9) children so I have always taken care of my siblings children, my nieces and nephews. I have received precious memories and fulfillment from taking care of them. I my group of friends, I am always the one "taking care of things and everyone." That is just my nature. What I enjoy most about care giving is knowing that I helped someone and I was an ear to listen to them and take interest in them. I love to listen to what an elderly person has to say because I learn SO much from them. One of my patients required blood sugar readings and insulin. I learned how to administer both and I am quite proud of the fact that I have that knowledge and skill.

I absolutely Love my job... and being able to interact and work with people and know that my kindness and patience is making a huge impact on someone's life.

As you are trusting someone with your loved one and my job to protect and to give the best care possible. I am looking forward to working with you or your loved one.

I'm a loveing affectionate person who thrives on caring for others. I've always loved the thought of become a nurse since a child. I enjoy making a difference in people's lives everyday. An achievement I'm proud of is going through college to further my career.
