Multiple Sclerosis Caregivers in Rockwood - 20 caregivers found

I am a great caregiver because I actually wanted to become a nurse because I was raised by my grandmother and I watched her be a caregiver to her parents and kids and also raise me as a daughter and I am her granddaughter. My great grandmother had multiple sclerosis when I was growing up as a young child and she lived next door to us. I used to go help my grandma take care of her till she got bedridden and passed. Both of my grandfathers also had Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's I was also a full-time caregiver to one of them as a young adult. What I enjoy most about being a nurse and a caregiver is companionship. Everyone needs somebody especially the elderly it's very lonely when you get older and I love being a nurse/ caregiver to have my client feel that Most beautiful experience of Someone that actually cares.

I set out years ago to become a business professional, but somewhere along the way, I discovered that my true calling was in healthcare. What I do has never felt like just a job to me--it is a passion deeply rooted in caring for others and making a difference in their lives. My journey in caregiving actually began when I was just 12 years old, helping care for my grandmother after she broke both of her legs. That experience sparked something in me that never went away. Over the years, that compassion grew into a career and has given me many years of hands-on experience caring for and supporting others. I have always had an especially soft spot for the elderly. There is something incredibly meaningful about being trusted to care for someone who has spent a lifetime caring for others. I cherish hearing their stories, learning about the lives they have lived, and taking the time to know them as individuals--not simply as someone who needs care. To me, caregiving is about so much more than meeting someone's physical needs. It is about dignity, patience, companionship, trust, and helping someone maintain as much independence and quality of life as possible. Throughout my years in healthcare, I have been blessed to care for many wonderful people and build relationships with their families. I often say caregiving feels like being gifted with extended family members along the way. That trust is something I value deeply and will never take for granted. Healthcare may not have been where I originally planned for my career to take me, but I truly believe it is where I was meant to be.

I'm a caring and very respectful person. I love to help people maintain themselves in a manner that is dignified and keeps the happy and healthy. Making someone smile helps the time pass and comfort level helpful for them. I wanted to be a caregiver to give back and help people. What I get most out of caregiving is the way I make people feel and helping them be at their best and get the best care I can give some, it makes my heart happy. People are important and need help sometimes it's the best when someone can care for them and help them with even the most minute aspect of living, just to see them smile. The most important thing that I've learned and was completely honored was when a young man I was helping learned how to fold his own laundry and it was just that smile that touched my heart

My current job does not say much about who I am as a person or a caregiver. Before starting in factory work I worked in a nursing home for 4 years. After the nursing home I worked in assisted living for a year. I gave my heart to those jobs. I loved ever minute of being with the elderly. I started by waking them up and taking them to the toilet. Then I would help them get dressed or dress the ones who were unable. I would then assist with normal morning hygiene care. I would take them to dine with others in the dinning hall and then I would feed the ones who could not go. I would do daily excersizes with the residents and give baths when it came time. After breakfast some would take naps, watch tv or do other things. After my rounds of helping to use the bathroom I would visit with some that I didn't get to spend so much time with because of our morning rush to eat. So many of those people whom I took care of couldn't remember some of their own family, but they knew when they seen me coming everyday and they were so happy at times. At the end of the day helping others comes naturally. My gratitude I get from being a caregiver is just making someone smile. If I can make them smile then I must be doing something well.
