Diabetes Caregivers in Knoxville - 10 caregivers found

Hi! I've been in the home heath field for approximately 16 years on and off. I started in the nursing field at age 15 as a CNA working in a nursing home. I also worked in a Personal Care Home for 6 years. I enjoy taking care of seniors and individuals with disabilities. I love being able to care for others and the rewarding feeling that comes within. I'm a pround mom of 2 remarkable adult children and four amazing granddaughters!

I believe im a great caregiver because I have a very big heart and also love helping others. Im a very friendly person and a hard worker. I have excellent communication skills and excellent time management, cleaning and organization skills. I started in the healthcare field in 2015 working through Pathways Inc. I wanted to become a caregiver because I enjoy making a difference in peoples lives and have a lot of knowledge in this field. Also I feel I am making a difference in the family/seniors lives by being able to provide consistency and compassion.

I am 57 and retiring from a career in Special Education. I have also worked as a speech therapist in the educational setting. I will be providing care for my infant granddaughter weekdays. I am looking to provide support to local Seniors evenings and weekends. I have experience in educating individuals with a wide variety of physical and intellectual disabilities. I also helped to provide care to my father who had dementia. I have been involved with Pawz And Purrz Animal Rescue for the past 4 years and love animals of all kinds.

I am a person who loves hard and cares deeply for people. Care giving is a family business in a sense. I grew up watching all of my female family taking care of others. I love being a care giver bc I am able to give back to the generation that helped raised me. I enjoy their stories and companionship.

I'm a very punctual person, being on time is very important to me because it shows that I respect other people and their time. I have a great work ethic and get along well with others. I enjoy helping others and I am most fulfilled when helping others. I am most proud of the job I am doing raising four of my eleven grandchildren.

Hi, my name is Danielle Dickison and I am a certified nurses aide, certified home health aide, and licensed practical nurse. I am certified in basic life support, CPR and AED, and first aid. Positive attributes to my personality that allow me to be a great caregiver are that I have a very big heart and I'm very caring. I treat all of my clients and residents as family. I am also cery dedicated to my work with a great worth ethic. The reason I chose to become a caregiver is because I have a family history of nurses, caregivers, and CNAs, and because I have always been drawn to caring for those who are no longer able to care for themselves independently. I feel as though as people who need help with activities of daily living, they deserve to have caregivers who genuinely care and value their career and the health, safety, and emotional and physical well-being. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is helping people, and feeling like I am making a difference in other people's lives. I also love knowing that my clients and residents appreciate what I am doing. I feel very appreciated and fulfilled in my line of work. A personal achievement I am proud of is graduating high school at age 16, and graduating nursing school and becoming an LPN at age 17.

I am a young caregiver with a lot of energy and patience. I have experience working with individuals with a wide range of needs and abilities. I pride myself in forming unique relationships and providing essential care. I'm comfortable with cooking, cleaning, bathing, dressing, assisting with elimination and intake, medication administration, transportation, and other basic instrumental activities of daily living. I have worked with people in wheelchairs, who require lifts, and those who are fully mobile. I have experience with Dementia, severe Anxiety and Depression, Cerebral Palsy, mild to moderate Developmental Disabilities. I am an animal lover so pets are not a problem for me.

Being a care giver is one of the hardest yet satisfying thing I've ever done in my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything

I have been giving care for 10+ years and exclusively the last 5 years. I have a variety of skills and experience and am always willing to learn more so I can ensure your loved one is getting the best care possible. I have done simple companion care with a client who can still fully function but just needs some help to hospice- bedridden care and worked with nurses who come into the home, gone on Doctors appointments, done therapy and prescribed exercises, etc. But it's not just the medical care I provide- I also can make an excellent homecooked meal (not really into too much of the processed and junks foods so if you really want healthy good cooking- I'm your girl), keep a clean environment (no cross-contamination) a great listener, sing, play music and really try to have a good time with the person I am caring for. Does your loved one like certain activities? Then it's a priority for me to make them happen. Whether it's to go to a senior center and participate in an activity or do something at home- music, reading, catching up on a show they like, puzzles, games, taking a walk- I'm flexible and very open to doing what they love and to keep doing at long as we can so your loved one enjoys life to the fullest. Lastly, I keep you updated on anything and everything you want to know about the care being given. Often I get to the point where I can anticipate a need and will work with you to ensure the quality of care and comfort is never compromised when possible.

I became a caregiver to take care of the elderly because It is a great need for it. My mother and Grandmother was in the field as well. I enjoy what I do and my children are my pride and joy and they are very proud of me. I work very hard for my residents and I would like to eventually move in to being an LPN and move to a RN
