HIV/AIDS Caregivers in Cadiz - 8 caregivers found

What I love most about being a caregiver is building relationships with my clients and helping them with day to day tasks.

I became a caregiver because I have a big heart and a lot to offer in ways of understanding and patience. I see my clients as people still and not just a job. I also have personal experience with special needs and a long range of care. From hydrocephalus and a shunt as well as multiple surgeries and recovery, incontinence and Cath care and multiple other things I have went through with one of my twins since birth. Also have worked with hospice patients and families. Have also went through my own person experiences with hospice and with loss including one of my children and with others close to me.

I use to work with mentally disabled and I loved taking care of other people. Helping others that can't do things themselves makes me happy. I enjoy putting smiles on other people's faces. Being part of something that is meaningful.

I enjoy working with elderly. I have been in this field most of my life and it simply comes as a second nature for me. I enjoy helping others.

Last year in the pandemic , I had to quit work as something that I love to do and that's helping people, especially the love ones who can't help them self, all because I have a heart disease, and can't work in the facilities. So I decided to become the CEO of this agency and try to help everyone who loves working as a CNA that really care to help and care for others.

I'm reliable and dependable. I've been a CNA for 17 yrs. I decided to pursue this career because I believe my calling is to help others.

I have been a CNA for 15 years. At the age of 20 I started going to the nursing home where my grandmother resided and took care of her. She had Alzheimer's. She could not do anything for herself. I would go and feed her and help the other CNA's take care of her. I had a RN and Administrative staff from the nursing home talk to me about going to school to become a Nurse. I enrolled in their CNA program and completed all courses and passed State Boards in Paducah, KY. My grandmother died a year after I received my certification. I worked there for 8 years. I took some time off until my two children were in preschool. I then decided to go back to being a CNA, but this time I wanted to give the hospital a try. I applied to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, TN. I got the job. A job most people dream about getting. I loved every second of it. It was remarkable, but very different from nursing homes. I was a CNA, but did LPN work with my patients. I feel like I've been around the world working at Vanderbilt. You come across so many different walks of life and each patient is different and that in itself is so rewarding. I decided to not go to nursing school because I love being able to bond with my patients. I didn't just want to do paperwork and give meds. I love being a CNA. I love every relationship I've built with my patients and their families.

I've been a caregiver for over 30 years, I have worked at the hospitals, home care, direct care, mental health hospitals, nursing homes. I am well experienced and my expertise. My personality is great with others I believe in helping people and making people happy.
