Nursing Assistant Registered (NAR) Caregivers in Bethel - 3 caregivers found

I got into caregiving on accident. I was looking for employment and a friends suggested I apply at her job which was Alzheimer's assistant living. I got the job and realized I loved it! I became state tested and have been in this line of business for 14 years. I love taking care of people who can't fully take care of themselves. There is pride in helping others and I am humble that God chose me to be the voice and care taker for some who can't express their needs and others who just need help along the way. I am proudest of accomplishing my PCA II which is a promotion from PCA acknowledging I am proficient in my level of expertise and care. I am also a safety coach and a proud member of the safe patient handling committee at my current employer that looks at proper ergonomics and equipment that keep both the patient and caregivers safe and free from injury. I do not have a car but I do use Lyft and Uber to travel if that's okay.

I am currently a master of social work student with a concentration in healthcare. I have over 10 years experience in healthcare in hospitals, rehabs, long term care , and in home care. I am CPR BLS and First Aid Trained. I have experience working with complex disorders such as alzhiemers, dementia, epilepsy and autism.

I am a great caregiver because caring comes from the heart and everything I do, I do with my heart. I became a caregiver in 2004 to assist my great-grandmother after a fall in her home. I love hearing people tell me they are happy I am there with them, thank you and we need more people like me. All those things warm my heart. I am proud of everything I have done so far in life. Each thing has brought me to become the woman I am today and help grow the heart I have to love even more of why I get up daily to assist people I keeping their independence or promoting them to be their best self.
