HIV/AIDS Caregivers in Old Saybrook - 40 caregivers found

Making a difference in people's lives has been a passion of mine. My family owned a Nursing Home/Home for the Aged for 36 years. This is were my passion for taken care of people was instilled in me. I worked as a caregiver, cook and handled recreation programs for our residents. Throughout the years I worked for Connecticut Hospice, The Alzheimer's Resource Center, and as a Private Caregiver for children and adults. I had the honor of caring for my Dad and both my Grandmother who all had Alzheimer's. There are many types of Dementia. Training and knowledge is important to understanding the needs of your love ones and clients you care for. This past December I completed training courses for The National Caregiver Certification Program, Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia and 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer's. These certification courses provided me with new ways to communicate with Dementia clients. I make sure the things that are most important to my client are done every shift. This is achieved by asking your priorities, then once they're completed if time allows I do my best to tackle the non-priorities. Compassionate, reliable, punctual, treating everyone with dignity and respect are values I live by.

I feel I am a great caregiver because I care about the person as a whole and do not treat them as an object. Also, in almost 25 years I have a wide variety of experiences in a variety of settings. I have taken care of all age groups and have enjoyed all of it for various reasons. I began 5 years after my mother had passed and I had assisted in her care. My training began after leaving the printing industry. Now, I have come to a pinnacle and am attempting nursing school.

My level of expertise is like no other; Effortlessly, I always go above and beyond for my clients. Ever since the age of five years old when my Mom asked me what I wanted to become and my answer was "Mom, I want to be a Doctor because I want to take care of old people and I love them" and of course she laughed. Years later I ended up in numerous occupations, but at the end I found my way back to nursing (smile)- Need I say more? It gives me great pleasure to listen to the elderly. Moreover, their stories are precious and rare each unique experience that "cannot" be replaced (priceless commodity) and most importantly the joy and knowledge it gives me deep within (humbled). Looking back on all my choices I can honestly say that I have no regrets; Especially, since it has mold my life and made me who I am today. My mother would have been proud of me when I achieved my licensed (CNA) and knowing that it does not stop there since I was already enrolled in a nursing program in College and eventually I will go back since I took a long break after she passed. In conclusion, I love what I do and work for me is (never) work since my passion is caring for the elderly (smile)-

Hello! My name is Amy. I'm a very honest and dependable worker. Compassionate and kind, 32 yr old mother of 2 older boys (age 7 and 11). Bubbly & friendly, I am able to make connections with my patients to give them the comfort and often companionship they often need. I have been doing patient care for the last 3+ years, after leaving nursing school to care for family after becoming a single mom. I currently work in a critical care setting, so I have seen everything there is to see in terms of illness. I am also able and willing to give palliative/respite care. **Currently available for 2-5 year live-in commitment: My current arrangement with my own family is that my children live with their father. This arrangement allows for my children to live the life they deserve while they are young. They have the best schools, live in a beautiful neighborhood and prefer living closer to their friends (as my ex-husband and I lived in different towns following divorce). I do get asked a lot about this dynamic and it is what works best for our family, so I like to be open and up front about it. Thanks for reading!

I have extensive experience with people, from previous jobs that entailed pristine customer service, to caring for my 2 children. I am energetic, patient, caring, loving and love to help other people!
