Hello, I'm Jessica. I'm a caregiver (TNA from ACAHNCAL) currently working on my CNA Certification. I answered the call and became a professional caregiver during the quarantine. I had been a family caregiver to two members previously and all together, I have 10 years experience. Ive been told I have a servants heart and find I am happiest when making others satisfied. One of the things I enjoy the most about caregiving is hearing stories firsthand. Listening is one of my strong suits because I'm always interested in what some else knows or has done. I'd welcome the opportunity to see if I can fill the caregiver position for yourself or your loved one. Thanks

Hi may name is Brandy I have been doing care giving for 5 year and I have always loved doing it I'm currently working on getting my cna but looking for a job with better pay

I believe i can truly make a difference in someone life.The opportunity to do something really good for someone,share your campassion to help other people. Raise 3 beautiful children,history teacher, doctor,and my youngest still in college.Iam very proud! I am a very happy person,love life very dedicatedprofessional with solid experience.I speak 4 linguage.

I have always had a desire for helping people especially the elderly. It's been a very rewarding career choice that I have always enjoyed doing. Knowing that I can help promote a person's well being towards maintaining their independence is rewarding to me. When I worked with a dementia client, helped to recall some of her memories through writing and reading exercises. My sister had many health problems in which; I encouraged her through daily functions similar to what she would do at home, helped with her transition from home to nursing home. Also, when I received my certification in nursing. I am a christian, loving,caring,devoted,reliable,efficient,responsible and love unity of family. My hobbies are reading, walking, meditate, pray, visit the sick and shut in, movies, love to volunteer my time helping those in need. I am a non smoker, do not drink alcohol, don't do any type of drugs. I have excellent references.

I love taking care of people, providing them with better life choices because I'm there to care for them when other times they may be afraid to step too far out of their home, for fear they won't make it back inside or fear of the world and people in it. I want to be there to give them that security blanket and secure them in their daily activities because I know they like to gain that self independence and do things more independently without having to sit around and not get what they wanted done. It helps to promote longer health and happiness from within. Something that so many take for granted. I love caring for the elderly and those that are less fortunate.

For me, being a caregiver is very rewarding. I enjoy helping others and find it comes naturally for me. In 2006 my mother was diagnosed with dementia. Quick background, I was adopted at 16 by this awesome woman and it totally changed my life. It saved me. So my mom was my world and I was saddened by the news. Because she did so much for me it only made sense that I do the same for her. For the first 3 years my brother and I shared the duties with more of the personal falling on me as the disease progressed. Eventually she needed a to be in a facility where she had round the clock care. We drove from Delaware to Pennsylvania every week to visit and got to know everyone and they became family too. After she passed I found myself continuing to go and visit people and volunteer at Sunrise. Partly out of habit and partly because some just didn't have anyone else. I eventually had to go back to my painting business and take care of things. Fast forward to 2020 and the Covid 19 quarantine. While on furlough, I kept hearing about industries that were impacted by essential workers not making it to work and Home Health Care was a big one. I asked myself what I would do if this was happening when my mom needed help. What if mom's caregiver didn't show up and I couldn't travel to help her? Sitting at home, being on furlough wasn't for me, so I decided to go back to caregiving full time and became an essential worker. One of my favorite parts of caregiving is companionship. Like I stated earlier, my mom adopted me when I was 16, but I didn't mention that she was in her 70's. I loved to hear her stories about how things were back in the early 1900s. Her experiences. Hearing it firsthand is so different, and better, than reading about it. I still feel that way so in addition to helping with ADL's, I love to sit and talk with my clients and they love to have someone to listen.

I truly believe I was put on this earth to take care of people. I'm very caring and devoted person. There is nothing else I rather be doing.

I have been in healthcare since 1991. I truly enjoy the short term rewards if helping other.Getting a smile from My client is a joy beyond belief. I served 9 years in the US Army and am very proud of my service to our country
