Gastrointestinal Disorders Caregivers in Richwoods - 17 caregivers found

I spent 11 years in the military in which I was honorably discharged at the end of 2012. I completed and received an associate degree in art while serving. I continued my education while being unemployed from the time I was released from the military until April of 2013 and earned a bachelor degree in psychology. A week later I began practical nursing school and graduated top of my class a year later and was rewarded the leadership award. I passed my state board and earned my Practical Nursing license with an IV certification. I have since worked as an admission nurse, hospice nurse, agency nurse, floor nurse, managed a long term care facility, and was a day shift manager as well as a day shift unit supervisor. I recently completed my associate's degree in science in nursing and am waiting to sit for boards for my registered nursing license. I am looking to slowly transition from the facility setting into private duty helping people in their home setting.

Im patient. Have been caring for people for 10 yrs.

Background: !![?]experience with the elderly, autism, medical complexities and more I am a paraprofessional for students with special needs. I have experience with cerebral palsy, autism, handling g tubes, neuromuscular disorders, type 1 diabetes (have it myself as well), epilepsy, and Cornelia de Lange syndrome. I also have 5+ years of experience with the elderly and have experience with dementia, diabetes, dialysis, stroke victims, bathing/ dressing, toileting, transfers, hoyer lift, gait belt, lift to stand, and meal preparation. I am a non smoker, located in Union(but willing to travel), and have excellent references! I'm also studying Social Work online at Missouri State University.

I am a fun outgoing caregiver who strongly believes in aging with grace and dignity, and on your own term. Maintaining independence is key to this. Let me help keep you in your home. I have been a LPN for 6 years and was a CNA for 20 years prior to becoming a nurse. I have the experience necessary to care for your loved one.

I started this job because my parents needed help. I have worked as a nurse helping people for several years. My goal is to help as much as I can to make people feel better and love to see them smile!

I want to take a moment to express my passion for caregiving and experience in working with both the elderly and individuals with special needs. Over the past 6 years, I have had the privilege of providing care and support to a diverse range of individuals, including those with dementia and autism. it has been incredibly fulfilling to make a positive impact in their lives and witness their growth and well-being.

I am a home health aide/ Occupational Therapy Assistant. I work for a company as well as private care to help geriatric patients with ADLs, medication management, and mobility. I also help with light household duties. I have experience in different fields such as retirement facilities and nursing homes.

I am one of the most easy going, whole hearted, loving people you will meet. I take full pride in all of my work with my patients/clients, and I have been told by everyone I have cared for that it is my calling. That I have a servants heart. I started caregiving at the age of 19, there was something about it that completely drew me in and once I started there was no stopping because I love it so much. The best things about being a caregiver to me are the smile that lights up the room when I walk in, the happy tears when I doll up a lady after a good shower and make her feel beautiful when she hasn't felt that in a while, and being a part of so many wonderful families that you just cherish those memories for the rest of your life. It's truly a blessing. A personal achievement that I am proud of would be being named Employee of the Year and Month for taking on an entire census of patients by myself when both of my co workers had resigned. It was tough, but I got it done and my whole team through a celebration for me. Being a caregiver has taught me so many wonderful things in life, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I am a very caring and outgoing person. I love being a caregiver because I love helping people. I try making the person feel as comfortable as possible, by that I mean getting older is sometimes hard enough, then on top of that not being able to fully care for yourself can be quite discouraging and harder for some to accept, I like to help them and make them feel better about their situation at the same time.The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is knowing I can make a difference in someones life. Personal achievement I am proud of is becoming a CNA.

I'm a very loving caring happy friendly outgoing caregiver. That I feel is my calling and I am very passionate about what I do. I have never gotten a bad experience. and nothing is to much I can't handle. the thing I enjoy the most is giving my clients happiness! One of my personal achievement is I was the only person she would do anything for like exercise and she went from bed bound to walking again.
