About Olivia

Hello, my name is Olivia Deraway. I am extremely empathetic and compassionate. I have experience volunteering and working with adults with disabilities. I also have experience volunteering at my local Nursing Homes. I sincerely enjoy helping people of all ages. When I am able to help someone else and make them happy it makes me happy. I enjoy meeting new people and being reliable for someone. One of my greatest achievements is being selected as president of our Honor Society here at Cazenovia College. This achievement displays my dedication to schoolwork and creating bonds and relationships with the people of our community. I am also proud of the achievement of being selected as a senior mentor by the directors of my academic program. The top ten students were selected to fill in the gaps and mentor senior citizens from CROUSE.

The City of Rome Parks and Recs department
This job requires me to teach children between the ages of 5 and 12 how to swim. It also requires me to manage the pool and it's surrounding park. This experience has taught me how to be empathetic and also how to work under high levels of stress. I have met a lot of people with diverse backgrounds and it has helped me become open minded. It is a seasonal job so I only work during the summer, however I stay in contact with most community members.

Hello :) I have been a stay-at-home mother of two for the past 7 years. I have provided childcare out of my home for the past 4. While I love my job, I am looking to re-enter the work force outside of my home. I have Senior care in my past work history as well. I have been a companion caregiver and a CNA to the elderly as well as disabled. I have beaming references and am an extremely kind and professional person. I enjoy children and watching them learn and grow and believe that individual time should be spent with them. I enjoy talking to the elderly and hearing their stories from the past. Overall I am a very well-rounded caregiver because I can connect with people of all ages. I look forward to meeting you and your family, and for providing exceptional care.

what makes me a great caregiver is the fact that I put my whole heart and soul into what I do. I treat my patients like family, not like a job. I first started caregiving at the age of 16. My mother was a caregiver and I helped her. I knew then that this is what I wanted to do. I love being a caregiver because if I can give my best for them and care is always from my heart. All of my jobs have been with my clients to end of life care with Hospice involved. Knowing that someone is with them through it all . I believe my best care is with dementia and Alzheimer's I have a big interest in this and love working and taking care of them.
