About Candice

I am a great caregiver because I am very passionate about my work and the individuals I am taking care of. I love the feeling of making others happy and helping them with all their daily activities. Learning about what the individual use to do in their youth is always intriguing and I seem to relate somehow to a lot of their stories. Being able to give residents, clients, patients, etc., the comfort and support they need is a rewarding experience.

    Home Health Aide

    Right At Home
    I would arrive to client's home. Assist them with their morning routines, and then take them to doctor appointments or to the store during the shift. I would maintain the appearance of the home inside and out, and make sure that the environment is a safe one for myself and the client.

    I would take vitals on patients 4 times a shift, some more for transfusions. I aided in ambulation, showers, meals and all other activities. I transferred patients to many areas of the hospital and some out to their vehicles for discharge. I would chart on a regular basis when leaving a patients room and report any significant changes to charge nurses or leads.

    I would prep foods in the morning. During the day I provided excellent customer service while waiting on customers and handing them their food. I collected money for orders and promoted sales for certain items. I kept my work area clean, organized and well stocked to provided safety and accuracy for proper work function. I helped close the store some shifts and kept the lobby area and bathrooms clean. I helped when truck orders would come in and make sure products were properly marked and placed in the right designated areas.

    I'm very patient and gentle, I'm able to find the joy in everything and I have a good sense of humor. I've always loved helping people and getting to know the person I'm helping on a personal level. What I like most about being a caregiver is being able to make that person feel loved and important! A personal achievement that I'm proud of is always being able to find a way to make someone smile, either with me or at me.

    I very much enjoy spending time with and helping other people. I've always been one to put everyone else needs in front of my own and love to put a smile on the face of others. I come from a big family and raised my younger brothers and sisters and now have 5 children of my own, so I would like to think that I've been taking care of people my entire life.
