Orthopedic Care Caregivers in Paterson - 5 caregivers found

I have 32 yrs of caregiving experience in all rypes of caregiving.

Welcome to my "about me" section. First off , I love animals (not reptiles), I love doing all kinds of crafts, reading, learning new things, history & getting to know people one on one! I am a Christian who attends a local church & love to learn & do bible studies. (I'm not preachy but will converse or answer questions if you have them). I have a very bad SMOKE ALLERGY and can NOT work for anyone who smokes in the house. I have a mentally challenged son who has high functionality, lives, works & has a family and I also have a nephew who is Downs Syndrome, low functioning, & is non-verbal who I care for during my home time.( I will work his schedule around yours.) I love being able to create my own schedule with the work that I do. I have worked with all types of people in between since moving to Oregon 13.5 years ago. When I moved to Oregon I had a job waiting for me in this field because of my niece, who had introduced me to her employer during a vacation to visit her in the Spring of 2008. I never expected to love a job so much nor have I ever held a job this long. It was definitely a God thing. I have taken several trainings through my work for EOSSB (Eastern Oregon Support Services Brokerage) in different areas of care, helping me stay current on types of health problems people have & changing needs. I have earned several completion certificates for these including but not limited too bathing & grooming, toileting, managed care of diabetes (and other problems), medication monitoring/tracking, dementia (personal experience-family), cooking (meal planning), some cleaning etc. I look forward to taking more classes through Carelinx! and working for client/employers through this company.

The health care field became a calling to me, when I became unhappy with the manner in which my father was being cared. I saw that most were not willing travel, as well. I was slowly able to get trained while still assisting with his care. I can empathize with patients and their families because I have been on both sides. When working with a patient, that patient is not just a number - and I will do whatever I can to help. Quite often, I am called into situations where a nurse/caregiver/health aide, etc. Has quit, did not show or had an emergency of some sort. This gives families flexibility. I want to help as much as I possibly can, in order to assist with the patient feeling as well as possible as well as the family. This includes asssisting on trips. This way the family can enjoy their time together. I also assist pre and post op, with patients, so they can get home as soon as they are ready. I have also worked with patients loved ones who need someone to stay with their spouse or relative who may be incapacitated by Alzheimers, Parkinson's disease, and many other diseases. My goal is to work with everyone.

I am very compassionate, understanding, trustworthy, consistent, understanding and patient. I enjoy giving my very best to my patient and family, I enjoy learning about his/her life, I enjoy listening to what they say, I enjoy being able to provide the best care they deserve. I am very proud to be a CNA because it's not only my career but it is a calling for me to help and take care of other people with compassionate and treat them with respect and dignity!

i have been a cna for 18 years i enjoy working with all sorts of people i have experience in alzheimers mental health surgical patients . i am dependable flexable always willing to work
