Orthopedic Care Caregivers in Alachua - 51 caregivers found

Since a child I've always wanted to be in the health field , I grew up trying to help as many people as I possibly could . During my final year of middle I applied to the Academy of health professions program at Gainesville High School where I spent my four years of high school learning about the health field . Before Graduating I was able to sit for the state CNA exam where I earned my license and have been practicing since. What I enjoy the most about the health field is being able to make a change in patients lives . Even if I can't change their outcomes I know for certain I can change their moods and put a smile on their faces just by listening to what they have to say and reassuring them that I'm there for them . Everyone deserves to be in a good mood .

I'm 25 I have been helping my nanny and mom since I was 13 after surgeries cooking and cleaning and doing house chores . I'm very outgoing person

I am a qualified caregiver who loves to help give others the assistance they need. Ive been a caregiver for over 10 years and this profession has led me to my career. The trainings that Iv'e completed has shaped me into one of the most amazing caregivers.

I started out at 15 years of age. Needed a good job. I soon knew that this was something special. Not just a job but that these were people who had families of their own. Who have worked so hard all their lives to take care of others and have been through so much more then my generation. If not for what they lived through, we would not have what we have or be where we are today. I'm very proud to say that when I lay down at night that I have given back and am helping people who really need it. I have learned that we are all the same and families need help with the ones they love and have taken take of them. I am 46 years of age and have 3 children, all grown. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man.

I treat my clients as family, and friends and look forward to my visits with them. I have done clerical jobs in the past but, I always come back to caregiver jobs because, it is what I enjoy, and love the most.
