The first time I began to consider the nursing field as a future career choice was in 2004. I was 8 years old when I swam with my aunt Rose in their private pool and she had a seizure. I was able to recall basic knowledge about seizures taught from my two aunts who were nurses. I set a spoon inside of a towel and placed it in her mouth. I then yelled to her son, my cousin, "Call 911!" At that moment I was performing a cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It was the longest five minutes I have dealt with; it felt like an eternity. From that day onward, I wanted to make a difference by helping people to the best of my abilities. I am thankful that my other two aunts were nurses, and that they had taught me some basic medical knowledge which I was able to use to save my Aunt's life. I was born and raised in the Philippines and had moved to the United States on October 4th, 2009 to be with my mother and grandmother. Growing up, my family members would always describe me as a person that tries their best in everything they do, whether it is school, family, or my job. No matter how hard the obstacles are, I aim for success. I supported myself financially after high school with daily needs and college school expenses by working full time and signing up for extra shifts. In March 2014 to March 3, 2016, I worked 16 hour shifts, 2 days in a row every weekend at Garden Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. When I did not have classes in the morning, on the weekdays I would work 8 hour shifts in the afternoon or night and vice versa if I had school in the afternoon. In doing so, I was able to pay for my car, insurance, necessities, school, and help my grandmother. I love helping other help other individuals medically, emotionally, and spiritually by providing the best patient care with all of my heart.

I am a caregiver because it is something I have found to unexpectedly be meant to do in life. I have an understanding of what it is for a family to endure this stage in a loved ones life and I am here not sure because it's my job but because I can make this time less stressful. I want only for a family to be able to take in these moments because it's important. I view my pay as compensation for my time. I cook and I clean and I communicate. I am detail oriented and open minded to every families individuality. I am always going to be coming up with things to do and am naturally creative. I have experience with dementia patient care and all that that comes along with it. I am capable of transfers and know how to utilize a gait belt.

Hi! My name is River Gunville. I'm 27 years old. I was raised by my grandmother and I helped take care of her for several years. I also have 1 year of experience being a caregiver for residents in an assistant living home. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the ability to provide care to those in need.

I am a practicing Physical Therapist at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. I thoroughly enjoy my job and am looking to broaden my scope to home care. I have 29 years of experience as a practicing PT and feel confident that I would be an excellent caregiver.

Becoming a caregiver has been a great experience for me. I have learned so much from working with seniors and the great stories and life advice I get has been what makes working as a CNA something I love to do. I'm reliable and very hard working, always ready for the day staying positive and having compassion for others. I have been working as a caregiver for 10 years and have worked in skilled nursing homes, rehab, home health and hospice. Able to help with personal hygiene, showers, getting ready in the morning or getting ready for bed. Transferring in and out of w/c, meal preparation, meal setup, medication reminders, transportation for errands or doctor visits. One on one companionship and help with daily needs.

I very much enjoy providing support and care in a home setting. I have many references from individual's guardians and will provide these phone numbers upon request. My most core values are insuring respect and dignity. I believe all people have the right to make choices in all areas of their life. I encourage people to follow their care plan and work in tandem with them rather than dictate what they need to do. I understand that many people receiving care may feel loss of control in their lives and I work hard to understand their interests, concerns, and ideas and I am very creative in helping them to have experiences that fulfill those desires. I tend to befriend people in my care. I very quickly develop caring relationships. I am a person of faith and believe providing all of the above is a ministry in my life.
