HIV/AIDS Caregivers in Lexington - 5 caregivers found

I became a CNA/caregiver/home health aide because I honestly believe in truly compassionate care for people in need whether is the geriatrics, pediatrics, or the mentally impaired or psych or a combination of all the above. I enjoy knowing that I have helped someone get through another day on this earth with their family and if they don't have any family at least they know someone was there for them when it was needed and proof that there are still nice, caring, and honest people out there.

Hi, I'm Megan. I've been a nurse since 2008. I love what I do and all of my patients I help. I enjoy spending time with my family camping and being outdoors. I love my job as a nurse and caregiver and love putting smiles on my patients faces.

I am caring, compassionate, and believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. I became a caregiver because I saw how my great grandmother was treated upon being placed in a nursing home when I was only 14yrs old. I didn't like hearing her say that no one cared. I would spend my spare time at the nursing home visiting her and soon became the go to hairstylists for several of the residents. It was something that stuck with into my adult years. When my children started school, I became a CNA, I stumbled upon the greatest job I could ever have when I was hired as an Hospice Nursing Assistant. I believe it takes a certain type of person to do such a hard but very much needed job in this world. I am proud to say that I am just that person.

I became a caregiver at first just because it was a job. Now that Ive been doing it for a few years, I like to think that I make a difference in some ones life. Even if Im helping a client with every day activities, Im helping.

I am a level-headed health-care professional who remains calm and effective in extremely difficult and stressful situations. I have strong beliefs in the importance of companionship and in patient care. I've worked with children, rehabilitation for those recovering from surgeries, elders whom need nothing but a companion, people suffering Alzheimer's and/or Dementia, and also with individuals who have physical and/or mental disabilities. I myself was born with a mild form of Cerebral Palsy but, never let it stand in the way. I grew up in the healthcare field because of my dad who has been a nurse my whole life and would bring me to work with him so I could play bingo with the residents. Ultimately I chose this career path though because, in 2013 my mom was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and after being admitted into the hospital I spent weekends by her side and sadly saw first-hand that the staff were not giving her proper care. Shortly after her being hospitalized I decided to drop out even with it being my senior year. I started classes to obtain my GED and also registered at Indiana Healthcare Professionals and the day of her funeral was my first day of classes to become a Certified Nursing Assistant which I successfully completed in June of 2014.I love the healthcare industry because I have found a little piece of my mom in everyone I've assisted; which is why, giving my best is never questioned. I plan to start school again in the near future to become an elementary school special education teacher. At the very least my experience as a CNA has prepared me for my next path.
