Palliative Care Caregivers in Penrose - 93 caregivers found

I am a compassionate and gentle woman. I have experience in several realms: assisting in care for my grandma for several years before she passed, working with high school special needs students, as well as being previously certified as a CNA, and later on EMT. I made a career change to IT, so I didn't maintain my certs, but I still have a deep passion and yearning to help and serve others. I appreciate being able to make a difference in someone's life by giving care and companionship. Whether it be simply with my presence for conversation, or for assistance with daily tasks in the home, to assistance with self care. Being a caregiver has always held a big place on my heart, and you or your loved one will be in great hands if I get the privilege of caring for them.

I worked in healthcare for over ten years in a clinical setting. I have worked with adults children, all age specific groups. My best trait is my compassion for people. I love working with the elderly population. I find it very rewarding helping others.

I am a care giver at heart! I have always been the nurturer of the family. I have 17+ yrs experience with caring for the elderly. 13 of those years specializing in Alzheimer's and dementia care. I learned from my previous residents' that it's important to have a sense of humor in this field of work, which I can think I'm a comedian some days! I never knew this work was meant for me until it just fell into my lap one day and was told by many I was a natural. I find it very rewarding seeing my patient's happy, see someone relieved of their pain, or just making that special bond or friendship after earning their trust. Whether it be just for a moment in each day, to see that I made my patient's life a little bit easier for them-makes caregiving so worthwhile. Something I have achieved would be staying in this field of work for so many years. There are people that simply aren't capable of doing the "dirty work" that comes with the job title. I can admit sometimes there will be "bad days,"but will always realize that at the end of the day- the good outweighs the bad....

I have always enjoyed helping others and being there for someone when no one else can. I have worked as a registered behavior technician for children with neurodiversities and worked as a caregiver for all aged individuals. What made me want to be a caregiver was the ability not only help others, but to be a companion as well. I also enjoy being able to have a flexible schedule for school and my family. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is hearing the stories my clients have to tell, building a relationship and putting a smile on their face. My personal achievement that I am proud of is being able to juggle school, work and a family. I am proud to say I will be Class of 2023!

Ifeel that everyone somehow needs a little help, so I got into healthcare. I enjoy meeting and learning about the adventures and history of the person I care for.

I believe it is essential to have patience when working with the elderly. When the well-being of an elderly individual depends on your presence you need to be there. Compassionate, supportive, supportive, and creative are all very helpful as well. I grew up with my mother and grand mother both working in the hospital as ICU nurses. My first real job was a caregiver at a small assisted living center. I absolutely fell in love caring for the elderly.
