HIV/AIDS Caregivers in Nashville - 7 caregivers found

I'm a single mother of 2 teenagers. I have 10 years experience in home health work and medical assisting.

During my childhood years, caring for my elderly grandparents was a part of my everyday life. They had several health issues and were in and out of hospitals frequently. I was exposed to caregivers in many different settings. The impact that kind, compassionate and informative care-giving made all the difference to me and my family. At the age of 12, I knew nursing was what I wanted to do with my life. As I pursued nursing, I started out caring for patients in a nursing home as a nursing assistant. I loved this, as I got to care for clients, just like my grandparents. The opportunity to establish connections with clients week-to-week was special! After nursing school, I moved to caring for patients in a hospital setting as a Registered Nurse. The hospital experiences have given me a broad scope of skills, whether it is assisting patients with basic self-care needs, changing dressings, managing ventilators or providing education, being able to establish a rapport with patients and their family's is still one of the favorite parts of my job. I love being able to help people understand what is going on with their health and their treatment plan. Just as others demonstrated to my own family, I want each of my clients and their family members to feel safe, cared for and heard.

I started working with patients in 2015 and completely fell in love with taking care of others. I have never worked a job where healthcare wasn't involved. I genuinely enjoy helping other live their best life. I love working with people from infancy to elderly and everything in between. I am compassionate and treat others the way I would want a caregiver to treat my family member.

I have experience working as a CNA/HHA for the last 13 years. I consider myself reliable, helpful, caring, and passionate. I also have some college credits for general studies towards my RN degree. I have been rewarded employee of the month and recommendation letters from the families of past patients I have cared for.

I have been a caregiver for almost nine years. I became a caregiver because I used to care for my grandmother when I was younger and after she passed I knew that I would be perfect at caring for people especially the elderly. I am very patient loving and attentive. I always go above and beyond to give love care and compassion for my clients.

What makes me a great care giver is I enjoy my work. I enjoy this field of work because when I was younger my grandfather had dementia and watching my mom care for him made me want to do the same thing.What i enjoy most about my job is being able to really make a difference in people's life's.A personal achievement I am proud of is my 8yr old daughter

I am a great listener, caring, giving and responsible. I am happiest when I am helping others, it gives me a real meaningful purpose in life when I am helping others. It takes a very special person to be able to care for others and I feel that person is me.
