Four years ago, an opportunity for home healthcare assistance became available. I enjoyed that experience and continue to work with patients requiring some additional activities of daily living assistance.
Prior to caregiving, I used to clean homes and businesses. My clients would always tell me there was nobody else that cleaned as detailed as I did.

My younger sister has diabetes and is insulin-dependent. I have worked with many different diagnosed conditions i'm chronic long-term issues.

I've always enjoyed caregiving - for my younger siblings, my own children, and working with the disabled. I began caring for seniors with my elderly mother-in-law and it was deeply satisfying.
I am a certified Home Health Aide working through an agency and am now an independent caregiver experienced in all ADLs, medications, transfer needs and dementia. I enjoy the broad range of activities - meal prep, transportation, personal care, medical needs, and one-on-one care allows for a greater level of care, understanding and empathy.
Dependable and caring with excellent client references e.g. \"head and shoulder above other caregivers\", \"a godsend\" as well as recent drug test, background check.
What has made me a great caregiver is my passion, compassion, patience, love, Empathy, reliable, flexible and trustworthy i have for the Elderly. One time i was at a grocery store and an elderly asked for help and was so grateful that i was there at that moment. I felt in my heart that compassion and respect for them. What do i enjoy most about being a caregiver? It is rewarding! That is Rewarding! I like to make a difference in people's life. To make them smile and have a better day. A personal achievement i am proud of is having to take care of many patients, make them happy and give them a good quality of life.

I love to see them return home independent and safe. I am easygoing, trustworthy and honest. I would be proud to be trusted to take care of your loved one.
I became a caregiver to be able to help some one family get through difficult times that they may be having with their love ones. And be able to give and show support in their love ones daily activities.
I enjoy being a caregiver because it gives me a chance to show myself approve to some one else's family. I am able to be responsible for my patients, take pride in my work, and be a team player. As well as letting the families know that they can rely on me at any giving time to provide good services to their love one.

When I work for them I feel like I am helping them to do what they cannot do for themselves , it is my way to be useful !!!
I have 16yrs experience in healthcare. Started in a mental health facility where I received my CNA and QMA certification. After 4 years there went to a long term care facility. Administering medication, bathing, feeding, transferring, dressing, helping with daily care needs are some of skills I can offer. Worked with Alzheimer's, dementia, surgery recovery and long term care.
Always liked being a caregiver. Even when I stopped being a CNA/QMA, I still worked in a healthcare environment. i.e. Maintenance tech, central supply manager and transportation.
What I enjoyed most was just making them comfortable. Spending time with them so they know you care.
I have been a professional caregiver most of my adult life. I have been given the privilege of caring for a child that has a diagnosis of severe and profound mentally handicapped to caring for family members and close friends that need respite care to give the family some down time.
I currently take care of a senior in Clearwater Fl. I provide skills of daily living along with daily physical activity. I also encourage social activities such as playing board games, cards and puzzles. This can help with memory and cognitive skills I hope this gives you an idea of my passion and the type of work ethic I hold myself too.
With Kindness,
Annie
Hello, I am an experienced care giver companion who genuinely likes helping people. My experience is with the elderly suffering from mid stage Alzheimer's, stroke recovery, vision impairment and limited mobility. I am very kind and compassionate as well as organized and trustworthy. I am intelligent and resourceful and I get along very well with my clients and their families.
I like to work directly for clients, bypassing the agency mark up, establishing a semi permanent arrangement with the client/family. I have letters of recommendation from the two different out of town daughters. One of a couple I cared (89,92), who I eventually helped move to assisted living.
I live in Largo FL adjacent to Indian Rocks Beach and Bellaire Beach. I have an AHCA level 2 backround check and my BLS. I completed a CNA prep course and I received a HHA through a local agency. I have an associate's degree + several courses at St. Petersburg College toward by BA. I do not have children which gives me a lot of flexibility.
Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.
