HIV/AIDS Caregivers in Paterson - 4 caregivers found

I have 32 yrs of caregiving experience in all rypes of caregiving.

I come from a humble background and I have always had a heart for the elderly and the vulnerable. I love care giving and can't imagine doing any other more fulfilling job . I like the thought of giving back and making a difference to ones live even with a simple smile .

CPR certification First Aid DPSST Certification OLLC N/A CNA Have worked in an elderly home for 7 months, in the following years. Have worked with veterans, disabled men/woman with Alzheimer's and dementia . Have many hours with dressing, bathing, meal prepping, and basic house hold necessities.

The health care field became a calling to me, when I became unhappy with the manner in which my father was being cared. I saw that most were not willing travel, as well. I was slowly able to get trained while still assisting with his care. I can empathize with patients and their families because I have been on both sides. When working with a patient, that patient is not just a number - and I will do whatever I can to help. Quite often, I am called into situations where a nurse/caregiver/health aide, etc. Has quit, did not show or had an emergency of some sort. This gives families flexibility. I want to help as much as I possibly can, in order to assist with the patient feeling as well as possible as well as the family. This includes asssisting on trips. This way the family can enjoy their time together. I also assist pre and post op, with patients, so they can get home as soon as they are ready. I have also worked with patients loved ones who need someone to stay with their spouse or relative who may be incapacitated by Alzheimers, Parkinson's disease, and many other diseases. My goal is to work with everyone.
