Home Health Care Caregivers in Smith - 12 caregivers found

When I was growing up, I helped care for my grandmother. I learned then that I really enjoyed caring for older people and bringing joy to their lives. I really love what I do!

People, in general, are born with specific qualities and gifts that, once found and expounded upon, open up a whole new universe of delight, joy, education, and fellowship. Over time, I discovered I was naturally gifted in being creative in the kitchen (via family/friends special diet needs), writing/journaling, and caregiving in all aspects of the word. My background in detailed administrative work, along with sign language, has allowed these two factors to interchange with each of my gifts, especially in communicating with family, powers-of-attorney, and the main person(s) I care for in any setting. My innate love to research and teach has proven to be very useful when I need to be well-versed on the subject at hand and document wherein necessary to show a pattern of improvement or lack thereof. From a caregiver perspective of personal achievement, three come to mind. FIRST, when my son became a Type 1 diabetic, we were able to allow him 1.5 years honeymoon stage on absolutely no insulin through a raw foods diet w/researched supplements. SECOND, I taught basic sign language commands to a three-generational family whose family member had ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), giving them all one year's worth of communication. THIRD, fire season brought two evacuations, two-weeks apart, back-to-back, which meant loading the five P's into the car, including a 95-year old disabled woman on 24/7 oxygen, with dementia, her adult cat in a crate with all his needs, and myself, driving to a nearby hotel/shelter without access to a handicapped or pet-equipped room for two days before returning (to our unscathed) home. Caregiving is a challenge in its own right. Having experienced grandparents and loving on elderly friends growing up, along with becoming a parent, too, certainly are perks. But of all the things I wanted to be when I grew up, a homemaker was one of the highlights for me, and caregiving falls in line with being a homemaker.

I have been in the healthcare field for about 15 years as a c.n.a with experience in hospitals & nursing homes. I am dementia & CPR certified. I have been doing this for a long time because I enjoy working with the elderly, learning from them, treating them with the care that they deserve. Excellent references available upon request.

I've never had experience with caregiving but I believe I could be a great caregiver because I'm compassionate and positively driven. I care about everyone as a whole, and believe everyone deserves the best quality of life and care.

As a senior myself, I find I have rapport with my clients that younger caregivers usually do not. We become good friends. I am easy going, healthy, entertaining and a good cook. Families and I get along well and become part of the family. After retiring from owning a travel agency for 20 yrs., I was looking to find a part time position and fate drew me to caregiving. I enjoy interacting with people, and working in the travel field equipped me for this work. I am proud of obtaining my AA degree after retirement at 70. I am a portrait artist and enjoy painting as my hobby.

I took care of my grandfather from his onset of Alzheimer's until his passing. A few years later when my mother had cancer I took care of her until she succumbed to her illness.
