HIV/AIDS Caregivers in Union Hill - 6 caregivers found

I became a care giver at the age of 17 because my grandmother had dementia and I had to help care for her. After her passing I went on to get certification in doing so. I like to help people. I like to help people keep their independence as long as possible and to show them that I care. I'm reliable and trustworthy

Detail-Oriented individual with 12+ years of valuable experience in the healthcare field with Alzheimer's & Dementia training. Profound ability to perform and carry out instructions, with close attention to detail to provide quality work.

When I was 19, my Mom was diagnosed with Cancer. Spending much of my time inside hospitals, skilled nursing homes, and at home with Mom, I had an opportunity to see first hand the difference between a truly good Caregiver/CNA and the ones who...weren't so good. I decided that I would get my Certificate so that I could be one of those good ones who truly touched people's lives. I fell in love with the profession, and have been doing this work for almost twenty years since. I truly love having the opportunity to provide the best Care Giving experience possible to all those I care for. One personal achieve I'm most proud of is the time I cleared the airway using the Heimlich Maneuver on a choking patient at a hospital I was working at. Although this particular patient was not assigned to me that day, the CNA caring for her was fresh out of school and panicked when the patient began choking on her breakfast. I was passing the room when I heard the CNA call for help. I recognized immediately that the patient was choking, pulled her into position and did the Heimlich until the food was dislodged. By the time the nurses responded, I had her airway clear and received a round of applause!

I became a caregiver at 14 for my grandmother and grandfather, and I fell in love with the work I was doing. After that, I realized that what I wanted to do for the rest of my life was to take care of and help those in need. I am CPR certified by the American Heart Association in infant, child, and adult BLS. I also have experience in the following things: Home Health (5+yrs) All stages of AD (5yrs) Schizophrenia (2+yrs) Mental Disabilities, Behavioral Problems and the alike (5yrs) I believe I would be a great addition to the team.

I cared for a family who lived by me; they had 5 children, and when I began, they were all 5 years or younger. I built wonderful relationships with all of them and still keep in touch today: however, the mother is a teacher and does not require a summer babysitter. I also nannied all summer for two beautiful 7-year-old twin girls Monday through Friday. I'm a CNA and have been for a year. I love helping people and I am good at adapting to each persons needs. Also, I am not one to be conceited, but I am confident that I am very good at what I do.

My passion is to help the Elderly who can't..o linger do for themselves. I am a good companion.
