Gastrointestinal Disorders Caregivers in Clatsop County - 4 caregivers found

I am a certified medical assistant in pursuit of obtaining my degree in gerontology while owning and operating an adult foster home. I have extensive experience with assisting the aging and disabled population. I am looking to broaden my skills while assisting people outside of my home.

I love helping people, my heart is all in when I'm caring for my clients/patients. I can build strong relationships with the harder to care for clients, troubleshoot how to care for dementia/alzheimer patients rather quickly like for an example we had a dementia patient that had not had his teeth brushed in 6 months. I worked with his wife to get him a toothbrush and toothpaste that he used at home, he finally let us help do dental hygiene.

I became a caregiver completely by accident. I was totally new to the career field when I started, but now I love it. I take pride in the fact that I can help people with aspects of their lives that have become challenging, and at times, impossible. I enjoy being someone the clients are glad to see each day I spend with them. I have achieved alot of personal growth during the 6 years I've been a caregiver. Each client had given me a differnt perspective on many things, as well as some good life lessons. I'm sort of shy at first when meeting new clients, but I've come to understand that the transition is just as, if not more so uncomfortable for them. I've come to see that it's not easy for someone who was once fully independant, now has to rely on someone else for even the simplest things. My job is make their lives a little less stressfull, and to make their day a little more brighter, if I can.

I'm compassionate. I enjoy taking care of and helping others live the best life possible. I've been doing home health care off and on for the last 30 years.
