Working as a Certified Nurse Assistant and an Activities Aid. I love working as a care giver and I am very passionate about helping others. I have been working in the medical field and as a nanny for over 10 years. The connection that I have built with the families whom I work for is very rewarding, I love making a difference in peoples lives and giving the best and experienced care that one could give. Since my teenage years I have worked in many daycare facilities, worked with families taking care of multiples sets of twins while caring for the elder children at the same time. I have stayed with all of my families whom I have worked for for many years, being responsible, caring, and patient has been some of my strengths. I am highly organized and detailed oriented woman who just wants to make a difference in someones life. The skills that I have possessed over the years and qualifications make me very trusting and assuring that you will be receiving the best care. I have a current CPR card, CNA certification,DSP trained, and I have went to school for Medical Assisting. Having many years of hands on experience working with the elderly and disabled young adults to infants and toddlers, I am very rounded in the care that I can provide for the families.

CNA, caregiver

Caring for an elderly couple who were in their late 80s. I cared for them while they were transitioning into their independent living assistant home in Cantata. Some of my responsibilities included bathing, dressing, medication reminders, preparing healthy meals, made sure I took them to their necessary appointments, grocery shopping, doing exercises with them. My experience with the elderly and my qualifications with my training to be the best qualified caregiver has given me an outlook to senior care and showed me that they need caregivers who are passionate about helping others and to be reliable and trusting is everything to them. I love what I do and love changing lives and providing the care that every senior deserves.

Took great care of my grandfather who I loved so much and provided the best care that I possibly could. I helped him with his daily living including bathing, dressing, providing him with healthy meals, doing exercises with him, making sure he was taking his medications on time, and was there for his any and every need. This was a rewarding experience because it was my grandfather and I got to take care of him and love him and give him the best care a granddaughter could give.

I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives.
