LACRESHIA MARIE C.

I am looking for a part time position with hours in the evenings and/or weekends. I became a Caregiver because I enjoy being around people. My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and after my grandfather passed away, I would visit her frequently to do her hair and other small tasks for her. The more time I spent there, I discovered how much I loved it. I got my Caregivers certificate within months and have never loved what I do so much. I love being able to help others. I love encouraging them to embrace what they can do and help them, gently, with what they are unable to do, now. Even though the job may be difficult at times, the reward at the end of the day is always worth it. I have worked in some very challenging circumstances where my patience, joy and understanding are challenged. I am proud to say that I have learned to understand where my client is coming from in different circumstances. I have learned to be patient with them during any situation and to be joyful before, during and after any trying time. I am a people person, with a big heart, who cares immensely for other people. I am trustworthy, kind, patient, caring and understanding.

I possess the following; - Empathy and compassion - Patience and understanding - Strong communication skills - Ability to multitask and prioritize tasks - Physical and emotional stamina - Flexibility and adaptability - Knowledge of medical procedures and protocols (depending on the level of care) I am attracted to caregiving because they: - I want to make a positive impact on someone's life - I enjoy helping others and providing support - I value building relationships and connections - I find fulfillment in assisting others with daily tasks and challenges As for personal achievements, I am proud of: - Helping someone recover from an illness or injury - Supporting someone through a difficult time or transition - Building a strong, trusting relationship with the person in their care - Finding creative solutions to caregiving challenges - Advocating for the person's needs and interests
