Kingman Caregivers - 5 caregivers found

Hi there! My names Sarah Simon, and I'm 56, married to my wonderful husband Ron, and we have two children, Chris and Dustin. I spent the majority of my career working in the accounting field. In 2013 my eldest son was needing to undergo a double lung and liver transplant, so Chris and myself were forced to move to St. Louis to be within range of the hospital. A year and a half later, and after my son's transplant being a success, we were able to move back home to Garden Plain. Once home and looking for new jobs, I decided that it was time to find something new. I wanted to find a job where I could make a difference in the life of someone else rather than punching numbers into a calculator. I decided that the perfect job for me to do was to become a home care-giver. It allows me to help others who may not be able to help themselves, but my favorite facet of the job is simply the companionship that I can give to a patient, and also that I can find a new friend in all of my patients. The most special thing about my job is that I get to know the patients on a personal level just by being able to provide care and spending time with them.

I have been traveling to my sister's home for a day or two each week following her return home after a hip fracture. She and her husband have needed some additional help with housekeeping and other support. I am a retired, but still licensed, registered nurse. Her insurance will pay for 6 hours of housekeeping and she wanted me to receive something for the services I have provided. As far as I am concerned, the care provided has been a labor of love and it does not matter to me if I receive this compensation or not. I am not interested in doing this for anyone else, as I am 71 and retired. I am pursuing this only at my sister's request.

I am a mother of three adult daughters, I owned my own business for 25 years. Daycare. I have been a Cna Cma home health aide and activity director for 3 years. I enjoy taking care of others and assisting with the personnel care needs. I enjoy helping those who no longer or can not take care of themselves.

*A caregiver should be known for their sensitivity, their giving nature and their nurturing desire to help those in need. *One of the best qualities a caregiver can have is a sense of empathy for those being cared for. *We must be able to separate ourself from potential anger and resentment and not take the situation personally, all while still providing high-quality care services.

I am a great caregiver because I take the time to know each individual person I take care of. I treat all my people as if they are my mother or my family. I give them the card that I would want given to my them. I love the people I take care of. I enjoy seeing them smile and laugh. I enjoy seeing their talents and learning their knowledge. My greatest accomplishment is raising my 3 amazing kids on my own and going to school full time and working full time. My kids are my greatest accomplishment.
