Hospice Care Caregivers in Umatilla - 14 caregivers found

Welcome to my "about me" section. First off , I love animals (not reptiles), I love doing all kinds of crafts, reading, learning new things, history & getting to know people one on one! I am a Christian who attends a local church & love to learn & do bible studies. (I'm not preachy but will converse or answer questions if you have them). I have a very bad SMOKE ALLERGY and can NOT work for anyone who smokes in the house. I have a mentally challenged son who has high functionality, lives, works & has a family and I also have a nephew who is Downs Syndrome, low functioning, & is non-verbal who I care for during my home time.( I will work his schedule around yours.) I love being able to create my own schedule with the work that I do. I have worked with all types of people in between since moving to Oregon 13.5 years ago. When I moved to Oregon I had a job waiting for me in this field because of my niece, who had introduced me to her employer during a vacation to visit her in the Spring of 2008. I never expected to love a job so much nor have I ever held a job this long. It was definitely a God thing. I have taken several trainings through my work for EOSSB (Eastern Oregon Support Services Brokerage) in different areas of care, helping me stay current on types of health problems people have & changing needs. I have earned several completion certificates for these including but not limited too bathing & grooming, toileting, managed care of diabetes (and other problems), medication monitoring/tracking, dementia (personal experience-family), cooking (meal planning), some cleaning etc. I look forward to taking more classes through Carelinx! and working for client/employers through this company.

1. I became a caregiver because I want to give back to the elderly that once loved and took care of me when I was younger. 2. I like the mere fact that when I assist the elderly, I'm able to make a difference in their life. For instance, I love to see them smile and that they can feel safe with me. In addition, I love to sit down and hear the stories the elderly has to say. 3. My personal achievement that I am proud of, is that I'm giving my certified nursing skills to someone that really cares and needs my help. 4. I am very compassionate and love to listen to people on what they have to say. Whether it makes sense or not. In addition, I'm a very hard worker, don't mind change, and flexible. I like to be a team player and utilize my knowledge where needed.

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 .

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.

I think some of my expertise would be giving care to residents I have done it for about 3 years now. I know how to do transfers very well. I love to be on time everyday and have things get done. That might be a issue but it's just that I like to be very clean and make the place look like a home. I personally had my grandma pass with breast cancer and I was with her everyday since she was diagnosed and it inspired me to help other and she would tell me she would see me as a caregiver. What I enjoy the most of being a caregiver, it would be when I get to Meet all residents and we get to bond and see them happy and then telling you we make their day extra better! That makes me feel super happy just to hear it coming from them.
