Renee W.

I am a Certified Home Health Aid. I became a caregiver because I especially enjoy working with the elderly. I personally cared for both of my parents when they were elderly and became ill. This experience gave me an appreciation for the challenges that the elderly face as they try to maintain a as high a quality of life as possible while living at home. One of my most memorable achievements as a caregiver was taking care of a 94 year old man who I was able to support emotionally and physically such that he was able to continue going out and meeting with friends and family. He reinforced in me the importance of a positive attitude and never giving up. I have a degree in the healthcare field and my hobbies and interests include bird watching, music, writing, computers, photography, reading, gardening, and nature walks. I am looking for a part-time or full time position [M-F]as a Home Health Aid and companion.

I became a caregiver because I used to be very close to my grandmother when she was alive. I loved being not only her granddaughter, but a friend as well. I learned a lot about life from her, and she was like a breath of fresh air for me. Caring for her set me on my path to helping others long after she passed away. What I like best about being a caregiver is the friendship that can be procured. It is good to have the company, and makes me feel productive and needed. One of my greatest personal achievements was when I gave birth to my son Michael. I always dreamed of being a Mother and experiencing the joys that Motherhood brings. I am proud of my son and how nice of a person he grew up to be. My name is Vera and I am 55 years young lol. I have a degree in Special Education, and a certificate in Medical Assisting. I am hard working and love helping people. I have a sense of humor so watch out! However, I am serious about my job duties. I live with my Mother who is elderly. She misses my Father, and talks about him everyday. 3 years ago he passed away and I too, am still trying to get over it. My parents were my inspiration. I am so glad I was able to help my Father to the very end. I will always be there for my Mother and all the people that depend on me for companionship. That's what it's all about. Reaching out and loving others. So give me call, you won't be disappointed.
