Well a little about me. I'm a mother of two kiddos. A boy and a girl whom I love dearly. I went to college at NCTC to study cosmetology and it was fun while it lasted but that's not what my soul was made out for, I started caregiving back in highschool when you could go to work and still earn credits for school. I worked for SkyView living center and we took care of kids with special needs and I feel in love with being able to give someone a helping hand in their time of need. Ive been doing ever since. I wouldn't change it for the world. Please feel free to call my references

I have been in the medical field for 35 years. I started out taking care of the aging when I was in high school as a certified nurses assistant. I worked in skilled and non skilled nursing homes and worked as a private caregiver. I joined the Navy when I was 17 and served as a Hospital/Combat Corpsman for 20 honorable years. During that time I worked in various clinics on hospital wards was an EMT and did independent duty working alone without a physician. After retiring honorably I worked for local vocational schools in the DFW area as a Medical Assistant instructor and then was promoted to Program Director. I also managed an internal medicine and rheumatology office for Texas Health Resources. I have been a substitute teacher for Keller ISD and Saginaw-Eagle Mountain ISD. Throughout the years I have taken care of various people with various medical conditions. I have a superior work ethic, am punctual, reliable and pride myself on my integrity. I have an active secret clearance, have been finger printed with the state of Texas and Federally and have local references I can provide. I am a non smoker, and a Christian woman who believes in giving the best care to my patients because they truly do deserve nothing but the best.

I am a certified professional caregiver after many years of caring for ill, and elderly family members. I enjoy giving others in need a sense of independence, and a better quality of life while remaining in their home. I love incorporating a variety of art therapy projects in my work with my clients, I've found it to be very beneficial. I also enjoy helping with pets, and am a devout cat lover! I am currently certified in Adult/Infant/Child CPR and AED training. I have a certification in basic first aid, a certification in (CBT) Cognitive Behavior Therapy and I also have a certificate for Trauma Based IDD issued by (DADS) Department of Aging and Disability Services with the state of Texas.
I am a kind loving caring person who absolutely loves people. I love being a CNA and getting to be a little part of so many lives. I've always wanted to be a CNA but the cards didn't line up for me until a few years ago. I knew without a doubt when my grandpa got sick and I had to take care of him that this is what I had to do, it was definitely my calling in life. I'm a big hearted person who loves to take care of others.
I became a caregiver after working in a nursing home for 2 years. I prefer home care because I feel a person should stay in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible and have one on one care. My goal as a caregiver is to make the client as comfortable and happy as possible.
I have always been a caregiver, though it's always been with children, I decided to try a part-time job during the summer taking care of seniors and I absolutely fell in love. I enjoy helping others, becoming part of families, hearing stories of times past, there is just so much seniors can offer and I enjoy learning from them. My grandparents were my world, so many things I love doing I got from them. From gardening, going on adventures, and story time. Since I've switched from children to seniors I've been asked so many times how? How could I switch like that? To me all I did was trade the size. Littles and seniors have so much in common and we have so much to learn from both. I'm an energetic person, I don't sit still very well for too long, but I do understand that quiet\nap time is sometimes necessary. Something I'm very proud of ( other than being a mother and now a grandmother) is making it through college. I attended later in life with my older daughter's while having another daughter in that later part of my life. It's an accomplishment I don't think I could have done without the support of my girls and family. I don't have any direct schooling in caring for seniors but I have years of experience and it's something I'm very passionate about.
I love taking care of others. My daughters are now in public school full time. So I would like to help a family in need of my assistance. I love talking to the elderly, they have great stories. I can work nights or weekends. So I am home during the day with my family when they need me.
I am a certified nurse aide with a bachelor's degree.I have 5+years experience of providing care for people confined to their homes due to being disabled, cognitively impaired, or chronically ill. My desire is to serve as a loving angel, and care for seniors who prefer to remain in their home as opposed to health facilities or institutions. I have taken care of my mother, my sister and my late husband. Additionally, I have worked with home health services, my clients have included Alzheimer's, diabetics, cancer and clients with arthritis. My services includes light house cleaning, laundry services, personal hygiene care, providing meals, provide skin care, administer medications, ensure equipment is functioning properly, and other health and wellness related activities. I enjoy helping senior citizens, being their companions-caregiver, taking them to doctor's appointments, grocery shopping, & shopping, taking them to senior centers, the library and general outings. It has been a privilege to assist my clients. I am trustworthy, dependable and honest, I have reliable transportation, great experience and enjoy being of service to others. I am what you need.
Growing up I was around seniors quite often because my mother worked in nursing homes and other senior facilities. Out of 4 daughters in our family, I was always the one who wanted to tag along, go visit and even help out when I was allowed. Taking care of elders is not considered just a job to me but a pleasure. It is my pleasure to help those who are unable to help or care for themselves like they may have done before. It is my pleasure to give back to those who have given to us. I feel very comfortable around older adults. I get along with nearly everyone. Being very humble about compliments, I've been told that my personality is genuine and fun ... along with very caring, loving and compassionate. Going the extra mile is something natural for me. I do it without noticing. It is my daily prayer to help make a difference in someone's life. I take pride in the work that I do. If I don't know something I always ask. If there is overtime to be done I will do it without question. One personal achievement I am most proud of is gaining the trust of a troubled elder that was once mistreated by family members. I was able to show this elder that it's ok to need and accept help from another and get great results. I took care of my mother many years before she passed and I'd give anything to do it again. I learned many wonderful things from her. It's not that I want to walk in her shoes ... but I don't want to lose my way either.
I am a hard working, compassionate, reliable, kind caregiver who has a passion for working with the elderly. I have nine years experience in the care giving industry and am also a Certified Assisted Living Manager with experience in managing a residential assisted living home for the elderly. What I like about being a caregiver is making life worth living for the elderly with encouragement and motivation in a gentle approach. My greatest personal achievement is improving the quality of life of the elderly for their remainder years.
