Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Caregivers in Belfast - 4 caregivers found

My grandparents are a big motivation for this career path, I want to give back and spread compassion. The best thing about being a caregiver is meeting new people and getting to know them. Whether it's the elderly, children, or animals I've always had a passion for helping others. This is my 5th year in this career and it's been an amazing experience.

Kindness, compassion, and empathy are vital in being a caregiver. I feel that when caring for someone's family member it is important to remember that they too were once young, and spry. They deserve respect and dignity as if they were a family member of my own. I have been a CNA in the past, and spending those extra minutes to do a residents hair, or shave a residents face just the way he likes it is so important in helping them to feel like a person. I care for a close family friend now after my regular work hours because I enjoy spending the time with her and helping her with activities of daily living but also encouraging and supporting her in maintaining the independence that she is able to safely have. A personal achievement that I am proud of is maintaining my CNA licensure while working a full time MA job. I did this so that I could continue to work with residents on weekends when I am able because they truly hold a special place in my heart.
