I was recently laid off from my caregiver position, when the family I was working for made the difficult decision to place their loved one in a nursing home. I performed all caregiver duties during my time at that position and thoroughly enjoyed every day I spent with her! I find caregiving very rewarding! I enjoy developing a close relationship with those I work with and doing all I can to bring joy to their lives everyday! I am proud that I get to go to work everyday and I love what I do! A little about me...I am a mother of two teenage boys and, originally, went to school to be a teacher. But as I got older and my grandparents aged and passed on, I realized how important it is to care for our aging population. They have so much wisdom and love to share, no matter what their age. I have immense respect for my elders and I am blessed for each minute I get to spend with them. I have no formal training in this area but have experience in dressing and bathroom duties, medication management, blood sugar testing, special diet meal preparation, doctor visit assistance, exercise programs and most importantly companionship on all levels! I am also certified in CPR, First Aid, AED use and Oxygen Administration. I really hope to meet your family and become an extended part of it
