Bay Pines Caregivers - 1,170 caregivers found

My health care career started caring for my father who struggled with the debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease. Six years later, I decided health care was something I was good at, enjoyed, and found rewarding. I went to school and obtained my CNA license. I worked several years at Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing Facilities. I have worked with several CareLinx families providing compassionate support and reliable care.

Prior to caregiving, I used to clean homes and businesses. My clients would always tell me there was nobody else that cleaned as detailed as I did. I am familiar with all types of care . My grandfathers had dementia and cancer, my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor and 100. My father had cancer and my mother has dementia. My younger sister has diabetes and is insulin-dependent. I have worked with many different diagnosed conditions and chronic long-term issues. I truly enjoy providing care from cooking meals and doing laundry to making sure my client has a bath. I also will make sure my client gets to nearby appointments and encourage my client to participate in activities in and outside the home. I have two small and a medium size dogs plus a cat so I am animal friendly. I do not smoke and prefer to work with same or an outside smoker. I have worked as a caregiver and CNA as well as management in homecare and been in the industry for 13 years .I work to build a bond and earn trust with my clients and their families.

I'm a very outgoing, energetic, athletic, fit person who is very compassionate and caring, someone who puts others before himself, a father of 5, 3 girls and 2 boys. I've been in the field over 10 years and have reliable references to support the fact. I enjoy being able to help others, with everyday tasks, getting back into the community, making home cooked meals, or just being there as someone to talk to. I've worked with seniors, developmentally disabled, dementia patients, and disabled veterans. I'm a well rounded individual with ambition, and experience in all aspects of the healthcare field. An added bonus is that I love to cook as well. My family and I moved from Denver to Florida just to experience life and it's been one of the best life choices I could have ever made. We've been here almost two years now, and look forward to connecting with families and making new friends.

I originally started my healthcare career as a First Responder (EMT- Intermediate Grade) with American Heart Association CPR and American Red Cross Advanced First Aid Instructor certificates (though all said certifications are lapsed at this time) before moving on to other career choices. Four years ago, an opportunity for home healthcare assistance became available. I enjoyed that experience and continue to work with patients requiring some additional activities of daily living assistance.

I became a caregiver many years ago by volunteering at first at nursing homes. I went on to get licensed so I could do more for others. I like having a job caring for others. I love helping others when they can no longer care for themselves, assisting them makes my job worth while; keeping them healthy and happy is my goal. I used to volunteer at a facility and I had the chance to bond with the elderly, they were in need of companionship and a friendly smile. I've worked in all kinds of situations with the disabled, elderly,sick and hospice patients. I have alot of experience with dementia, hospice, adl's,transferring patients and medications. I love being apart of their lives, I am a compassionate and caring person. I'm most proud of being able to provide the care needed for my sister and my mothers passin along with many others . I'd consider myself to being a self motivator. Very energetic and an overall happy person. I'm very dedicated to my clients. I live a good life and i'm always happy to help others live best they can. I have alot of patience and empathy. I've experienced alot in my own life that use to help me with my job if caring for others. I like to keep busy but can also sit and just listen . I also continue to do in services and trainings to learn new skills and keep my skills sharp.
