I knew from a young age that I always wanted to help people so with that in mind after high School I pursued what I knew I would be good at helping senior citizens through the years I have learned a lot and also through experience with working with agencies where most of the time they just throw you in and expect you to learn everything which was fine with me 18 years of experience later and I've had no complaints.

My 13 years experience in caring and assisting people who can't do for themselves. My characters (trustworthy, reliable, responsible, accountable, caring) shows me with so much compassion for the people I serve makes me a great Caregiver/Personal Assistant/CNA.
I became a CNA/Caregiver/Personal Assistant because I enjoy taking care of people who have lost their ability to handle their basic needs.
I like being a CNA/Cargiver/Personal Assistant cause I take comfort in knowing that I make people comfortable as possible, put a smile on their face, and help improve the quality of life for them during what can be a trying time in their life.
One personal achievement I am proud of is being the main role, for 6 years, in helping a man regains a positive outlook on/for his life after suffering a Stroke that left him with paralized on his right side, wheel chair bound, and told that he would never walk again. I committed myself to be his leaning tower(Personal Assistant/Caregiver). After 5 years of going to Physical and Occupational therapies 3 times a week with him, learning the exercises, then assisting him with these exercises in his home.he is no longer wheel chair bound, he walks 2 miles a day , he drive his vehicle, he's continues exercising in a gym, and he's no longer depress about his ability but encourage others living with a disability.
Helping others has always been a goal of mine, even as a little girl I knew I would be in the medical field in some capacity. My heart is into caring for others. I take care of my mother and understand a family's challenge in care giving matters. I have experience for in-patient and out-patient patients. I am very observant. I understand signs and symptoms of most illnesses. I am unique in that I understand and have knowledge of tradition medicine, but also holistic wellness. I truly believe if we did both and all, we would be in a better health condition as a country. I have certification as a Medical Assistant/Patient Care Tech from 1986. I have been in medicine for 25 plus years. My most recent place of employment was with Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I only left for a job offer with a Chicago Union, SEIU.
I am a passionate person. I come from a family that has spent many generations helping others. I am honest and trustworthy. I was a firefighter for 10 years, I worked in an emergency room setting for 14 years. I pride myself on treating others the way I would insist my parents be treated. I am a military wife, that knows the significance of service and punctuality. I have worked with patients with neurological to delivering babies. I love what I do.

I have the ability to remain calm under pressure and i also have I.T and driving skills. I have over ten years experience in this profession.
Hello, my name is Heather I have been doing homecare for 16 years working both privately and through agencies. I became a caregiver for those that need help staying as independent and comfortable as possible in there own home without having to go into a nursing home or other facility. During my years of being a caregiver you never know what your day to day task will be. You take one day at a time and go with it. I love helping people especially when you get a response without you I don't know where I would be. Not everyone who represents themselves as caregivers are actually a caregiver there are in it for the money which is awful to say but is very true. It takes a compassionate person to be a caregiver, you are leaving the life of your loved ones in there hands. During my 16 years of caregiving, I went back to school and became a certified nursing assistant in which Ive been for 14 years. I'm certified in both Illinois and Indiana. I have a clean background up to date cpr card. I not only have experience with home care, but also have nursing home, rehab, assisted living, hospice and hospital experience.
I love to cook. I am a very tidy person so the home will be very clean. Always on time and very friendly. I am 57 years old so I am not the partying type. I will take care of your family member with love and respect.
With over 6 years in the health and educational field , I have gotten so much experience that emits through my work. Working with developmentally disabled individuals has taught me to be extremely patient and empathetic. Working at the hospital has made me seen patients at their best and worst. Therefore I believe in improvement. A positive incline in my patients health is what motivates me to choose to further my education. Presently attending The University of Illinois at Chicago, juggling school, personal life, and work has also taught me to be extremely time cautious and very resourceful. I look forward to hearing your story and working with you to gain as much independence as possible.
