About Svetlana

I like being a caregiver because I like to help people. Currently I mainly work as a preschool teacher and I love seeing them achieve things and help them get to goals. I enjoy cooking and organizing so if the job involves those things that would be a plus, but my main reason for becoming a caregiver is I love to help people with anything they need. I've done g-tube and trach care and minimum catheter care. I've also had experience working with older people and also younger that are sick.

I currently work mostly at a preschool as a pre-kindergarten teacher for four and five year olds. I teach them skills to prepare them for kindergarten such as writing, math, and reading. We also have units that change every two weeks and we do art projects and various other activities to teach the material from animals to shapes to flowers.

Greenway adult care
I've been working at this facility on and off for several years. This is a trach and vent facility so all my patients have a trach and a ventilator. Some patients I've had only have the ventilator at night some have had it 24/7. I bathe them, clean any bowel movements. Administer medication and food through a g-tube or cook if they eat by mouth. I also help some patients out of bed using a hoyer lift. I suction and have the training to irrigate a catheter. I have also done insulin and blood sugar as well with certain patients.

I enjoy getting to know my clients and providing care based on their preferences. I love socializing with clients and hearing about their lives and their interests, but for clients that prefer a more quiet environment I find myself spending more time preparing their favorite meals from scratch while still being available for them at all times. I enjoy caring for others because it feels like it comes naturally to me, so much so that I am going back to school for a second degree, this time for nursing. I understand what an honor it is to be able to provide excellent care for others, and am excited to get to go to work each day knowing that I am making a real difference.
