I enjoy being able to devote my time to one patient. 3. Volunteering on a 19 day medical missionary trip to South America. 4. I am a mother of three precious children!

    I am a caregiver because I love people. There are not enough people to give care and attention to folks who need another set of strong yet gentle hands. I like to listen, talk and generally make people feel important and worth while. Caring giving is rewarding work. It makes me feel good when I can ease a burden and make someones day better because I was there. I am very proud of my ability to make friends and win trust. I worked for a nursing home in Iowa. There was one resident in particular that was hard for CNA staff to get along with. She wasn't very friendly at first but I squatted down in front of her, and explained this was the job I chose to do because I love helping people. She could see I was sincere, and warmed up to me knowing she wasn't a burden to me, and I liked helping her. I am in my second semester of school for Respiratory Therapy. I am love being in my yard gardening. My first grandchild will be 1 year old this July 21st. I'm a pretty good cook and a tidy house keeper.

    I am a twenty year-old college student living and studying in Southern Illinois. I am very active in my church, and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or kayaking. Originally from Alabama, I spent my early childhood observing and helping my mother and grandmother care of my great-grandmother, who spent 40 years in a wheel chair due to a stroke. I consider myself fortunate for this personal experience with my great-grandmother, Ruth, because I witnessed firsthand how important it is to handle disability with dignity, respect, humor, and practicality. As my great-grandmothers abilities and needs changed, I watched her caregivers work to help find a "new normal," not only for my grandma, but for our entire family. As a caregiver, my personal objective is to not only ensure my patient's health needs are met, but also assist my patient in finding enjoyment or interest in each day.
