Neurological Disorders Caregivers in Jefferson City - 5 caregivers found

Hi I'm Holly! I have a deep respect for aging adults. I started my caregiving experience by caring for my grandmother with dementia. I am patient, a good listener, and calm under pressure. I am excellent at anticipating needs and easily learn and fit into your loved ones routines. I am also a Certified Caregiver and a graduate student working on my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Wheelchair, and Immobilized clients and Wound Care. I have assisted clients with a variety of diseases and I am familiar with most medical equipment.

I became a caregiver because my Grandmother was stricken with Alzheimer's disease and I stopped everything and took care of her till the end. I believe God gave me this gift through my Grandmother because once she passed I continued on with another client then another and before I knew it I was loving what I was doing and I was passionate about it. I eventually went back to school and became certified. I am a loving, loyal, honest, kind, and a caring person and I have a lot of patience.

I'm a very hard worker and work great in teams. I take my role very seriously and I tend to bond very well with all of my clients. I'm very organized and do things in a timely manner. I love the caregiver role because I love being a good companion to my clients.

I grew up with a grandma who had strokes. She eventually became paralyzed from a stroke. I would watch my family do everything for her. When I turned 14 I began volunteering to do something she needed and I would stay the weekends and be the only one there to care for her. It brought us closer together. The best thing about being a caregiver would have to be the elderly you meet and the bond you create with them. My biggest achievement so far in life would be getting married. I am easy to get along with but I take my job very serious. I began in nursing when I was 22. My mom worked in nursing for 28yrs. and now I understand why my mom was happy and sad at the same time. Taking care of another human being is the most exciting and heartbreaking job.
