Houghton Caregivers - 20 caregivers found

I am a caring, passionate person who loves to help others. I was a CNA for 3 years. Before that my older brother was disabled. I have a lot of experience regarding assisting others on a day to basis. I love working with other people. It's rewarding when you know you made a difference.

A good Personal Care Assistant is a compassionate, supportive and well-rounded individual. Maintaining reliability and organization is also vital. These traits are imperative to provide the necessary support and comfort to recovering, disabled or frail clients.

I'm not just a care giver. I drive to and from appointments. I also do maintenance work needed around the home and take care of property. I'm very patient and take time with The one I'm working with

I have five years experience as a Home Health Aide, and am currently in school to obtain my LPN. I have experience with hospice care, and volunteer at the Hart Comfort House whenever I can. I try not to take myself too seriously, and consider any shift where I can make my client laugh or smile to be a success.

As a Candystriper many years ago, I gravitated toward the elderly. As a nursing student (I didn't not complete), I found that it was the elderly that needed that one-on-one, extra time spent, relationship. While in college, I provided home care/companion care, and have on and off for the past 35+ years. I've had a myriad of clients with different concerns and at various stages of health. I spent two days w/my father-in-law while he was in hospice, and was present at his passing, calling TOD. I enjoy doing for others, providing them w/care and companionship while allowing family members to take a much-needed break. An "achievement" that I'm most proud of is giving a client back some semblance of pride. Though she suffered from dementia, she could still communicate and read. Her abject fear was to be alone and trapped. I made a sign that was at the foot of her bed that reminded her that she was never alone and that someone was always there. The sign had velcro dots, and each caregiver had a small sign w/their name on it that could be affixed for their shift. She was able to call us by name when she became panicked, fearing that she was alone (even though someone was always in the next room). When she sat at the dining room table eating her meal and because she didn't have the strength to push herself away from the table, she would fret that she was trapped and couldn't relax enough to enjoy her meal. I made a little tent card that had a picture of a dining table and chair, and it said "you have the power to move back from the table because we will help you". Both signs made a huge difference in her life...something so simple, yet so powerful.

I am a very patient person who loves to connect with new people. I take care of children during the week so I am used to doing certain tasks more than others. My step father is where my experience comes from, as he is a much older gentleman.

I am in the Medical Program through Olean CTE Boces. I love to help people. I am a senior in highschool right now soon to graduate. In the mid of July I will be leaving for basic trainjng for the United States Air Force. Hopefully later on I will pursue a career in Neurology.

I have 21 years experience working with the senior population. I have experience in many different facets of the industry including : CNA, med manager, activity director, admissions, home care case manager and memory care director. I specialize in dementia and parkinsons. Excellent references. Caring, knowledgable and will take care of your loved one as if they were my own.

I am the oldest of four, and a single mother, caregiving is natural to me. I cared for both of my grandparents in their later years, so they were able to stay at home as long as possible. I find immense joy in spending time caring for others. I have always been good with children and found that I am also gifted in dealing with elderly patients with dementia. I would love to spend my extra time caring for others as I work my way through seminary to become a pastor.
