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

Very compassionate about caring for people

One thing that attracted me to being a caregiver is that I absolutely love helping people and making them feel better. Seeing them have a good day helps me have a better day. Some of the traits that I have that help with this job is empathy. Empathy is a huge thing to have as a caregiver. Really, I absolutely love having a bond with my patients/residents. Seeing myself being able to help people and make their lives a little bit easier is what brings me to work. The one big achievement that I'm proud of is that I moved states away from my son to earn my state certifications.

I have always wanted to take after my mother being in the nursing career. After my grandmother got sick and after her surgery, I took her into my care and took care of her for a year and a half until she passed away. After doing that I realized that I would love taking care of others. I knew that if I could do it with my grandmother I could do it with anyone. During the time I was taking care of my grandmother I learned how to gain patience, being compassionate with her and others, keeping up with house work, meal preparation, showering, transferring, medication reminders, and toileting. After she passed away I started at Quality Life Services in Apollo PA, doing the same thing. And I couldn't be happier with the career choice I have chosen. I love the work I do and I love the residents that I take care of, I look at them like they are my own family.

I became a certified nursing assistant 17 years ago and have loved every minute of it. To me, there is no greater reward then knowing you have made a difference in someone's life. I have worked in many aspects of nursing, but the one I love the best is in-home care because it allows the loved one to stay in their home as long as possible. My most personal achievement is my children who are now 25 and 22 years-old. My second most personal achievement is knowing that I am in the career I was meant to do. I am hard working, very organized, dependable and loyal to my clients.
