About Angela

Almost a decade ago my Mother passed and my elderly father with Alzheimer's came to live with me. I gave up my career and for the next 8 years I cared for Dad. I learned so much; patience, understanding, the health care system. Since my Dad's passing last year I've had several opportunities to be a caregiver for members of our church and found that I enjoyed it. I have a very up beat personality and seem to be able to connect and put people at ease. Being a caregiver is so rewarding but also exhausting. I know first hand how important self care is. I'm hoping that I will be able to give some family a reprieve, knowing that their loved one will be cared for. My greatest personal achievement was going back to college at 35 with a husband in the Air Force , two kids and a full time job. My youngest was diagnosed with bipolar. Seems I've always been a caregiver. I hope to have the opportunity to come along side you and help with your family.

Henry Sweeten
April of 2012 my mother passed and my father with Alzheimer's came to live with me. I cared for all his personal needs, bathing, doctors, physical and speech therapy. My background and education is in the legal field which helped with organizing my father's medications and multiple appointments. Through the years I learned that people with Alzheimer's Dementia need special care. My father could not express himself verbally, so I had to learn the signs when he was ill. Learn how to sooth and distract when he became agitated. The last two years of his life we had to place him in a home, I was there almost daily, working closely with the care givers, ensuring the best care. I know first hand the strain care giving can place on a family and feel that I am qualified to help come along side to help care for your loved one. Since my father's passing I've had the wonderful opportunity to care for several people at our church when their spouses were in the hospital. I feel honored to be allowed into someone's home and care for them in such a personal manner. [References upon request]

I feel I am a great caregiver because I treat people the way I would want to be treated. first of all I enjoy helping others and making others have a great day. It makes me feel good when I can make my clients smile and feel good about themselves even though I am helping them. I always felt that I would be a great caregiver when I started caring for family members that needed help then I moved on to helping others outside of my family and loved it .it makes me feel good when I'm helping others it could be the simplest task just to hear the appreciation coming from the client and their family members makes me feel good I know that I've done something right for someone else a personal achievement that I am proud of is that helping others it's not just for the client its for their families as well when Unable to help their family they depend on me and I like the feeling of being needed and wanted I feel like you have to have a caring heart to be a great caregiver and I'm sure that I am Caring person.

I enjoy helping others. I'm patient, kind, I follow instructions, and I take initiative in situations where needed. I was attracted to becoming a professional caregiver because I feel happy when I'm helping my grandma. It's part of who I am. Caring for those in need comes natural to me. I am the eldest of 7 siblings and it's easy for me to reach out to give help to others. I am proud that I graduated high school. I played football while in high school, I was able to work at Cane's Chicken Fingers and continue helping my grandma while I was in high school.
