HIV/AIDS Caregivers in Carson City - 12 caregivers found

My passion is working with the elderly. I am honored by the families that put their trust in me to care for their loved one who may be on the final path of their life requiring Home Hospice care. or is at that point in their lives where assistance is needed in order to continue staying in their home, being as independent as possable, staying safe. My commitment for each and every person is to provide them with companionship, assistance with physical needs and whatever else they need, whether it's writing a letter for them, or baking their favorite cookies, straightening out closet shelves or holding their hand, reading a book to them or just sitting quietly with them. I believe it is ao important to pocess tthe traits that are important in caregiving which are flexibility, willingness to sit still when you notice its what the person you are caring for needs. Paying attention is very important. A caregiver cannot just "be there" I keep logs in order to ensure the Doctor and nurses and family are notified of ANY changes such as skin color, urine intake/out take, bathroom habits, signs of weakness, facial changes, depression/mood changes. If bedridden, log needs to include turning times, any skin breakdown issues, A good caregiver needs to go outside the box, be willing to do what otherwise might be uncomfortable, be drama free. Assisting the family is one of the things that helps them know who I am and relieves some of the stress from their lives. By helping doing even the smallest of details, yardwork, cleaning a garage etc. I promise you that I will make the same commitment to respect, never diminish their dignity and do all I can to provide the stability, comfort your loved one deservesI I did not become a Caregiver to change the dynamics of lives. but to be there to make them feel safe, healty and secure. Compassion goes a long long way.

I have been doing care given for over 10yrs.work with cancer care, Alzheimer's, Dementia care. Responsible, Hard working, always on time love working with people have lots of TLC to give.

I am a very open ,honest and fun person. I can easily adapt and improvise to almost any situation. I have worked in the medical field most of my life. Mostly in doctors offices and hospital settings. It has always been a passion of mine. I have 3 children who have different disabilities so I am capable of taking care of different degrees of medical situations. After raising my children I decided to get into home care. I enjoy working and helping people but also able to spend time with my family .

I love caregiving, and helping others especially when they need it. All my care is unconditional, I'm compassionate, caring, and patient. I'm a great listener, I love reminiscing. My main focus on the job is to be sure that they're comfortable and happy, and my job isn't done until we've achieved that! I keep it light and positive during hard times, and I love to provide comfort care.

I love being a caregiver, because helping people especially elderly is a very rewarding job, someone need to help elderly and that's me, should help them .. Not everyone likes to be s caregiver but for me it's a very rewarding job. I feel good if I can make an elderly patient smile again and especially if they can get back in walking again . I was very proud of myself when a dementia patient of mine was back to her normal situation ( not exactly normal) but giving the medications on time and feeding or reminding her or him that it's time to eat will help a lot in getting better. Time management for the daily activities of the patient will help a lot in getting better for the patient well being . I considered myself as one of the best caregiver at my job now, and will continue to give my good care to the elderly until I retire .

Be that person to help others and give them a smile remember them that always be happy no matter what.

I became a caregiver after spending a couple of years helping care for my great grandmother who suffered from dementia. Although it was hard emotionally, I found that it was soul satisfying to be useful and help her through some of the most difficult times of what should have been her golden years. What I like most about being a caregiver is the ability to make a difference in someone's life. I feel a sense of a joy when I connect with someone I'm helping. My fulfillment is knowing that I'm more than an employee but a friend and companion. I'm compassionate, reliable, fun, detail oriented, hard working, patient and most of all...I love what I do!

I became a caregiver because of a unique opprotunity to take the nursing assistant course for free with the chance to be hired on by the company afterwards. I've always liked interacting with people and been good at sales but sales wasn't what I liked doing. The idea of selling something I don't want never appiesed me, however I found that my sales experience came in handy being a cna because then I could get the residents to agree to the care they needed. That felt rewarding for me because something positive came from it rather then another piece of product in someones home. I'm very proud of the fact that I was able to step into this field with no prior experience and do well. Well enough even to turn the facilities second state inspection around to a passing grade. I enjoy working as much as I do being at home with my family and am always willing to put in extra time when asked.

I believe that I will make an excellent caregiver beacuse I love to help people who are in need of help specially if they can't do everything for themselves. I am graduate student of Medical Assistance and I know i am fully prepared to do as I was taught by my instructors.

I feel I make a great care giver ,Because I truly Care and can empathize with people , It feels good to help no mater what the situation whether It be physical, emotional, or mental, My greatest accomplishment would be to care for people and raise two great children and help with five grandchildren.
