Palliative Care Caregivers in Jackson County - 9 caregivers found

I grew up taking care of my mother, and since then I knew that giving care to others would be fulfilling. I enjoy getting to know patients and connect with them and a great supporter.

During my childhood years, caring for my elderly grandparents was a part of my everyday life. They had several health issues and were in and out of hospitals frequently. I was exposed to caregivers in many different settings. The impact that kind, compassionate and informative care-giving made all the difference to me and my family. At the age of 12, I knew nursing was what I wanted to do with my life. As I pursued nursing, I started out caring for patients in a nursing home as a nursing assistant. I loved this, as I got to care for clients, just like my grandparents. The opportunity to establish connections with clients week-to-week was special! After nursing school, I moved to caring for patients in a hospital setting as a Registered Nurse. The hospital experiences have given me a broad scope of skills, whether it is assisting patients with basic self-care needs, changing dressings, managing ventilators or providing education, being able to establish a rapport with patients and their family's is still one of the favorite parts of my job. I love being able to help people understand what is going on with their health and their treatment plan. Just as others demonstrated to my own family, I want each of my clients and their family members to feel safe, cared for and heard.

My name is Lilly, I have been a cna for 5 going on 6 years. I wanted to become a cna because I love helping and taking care of other people. I want to be a caregiver because it allows you more one on one time with your patients.

I started working with patients in 2015 and completely fell in love with taking care of others. I have never worked a job where healthcare wasn't involved. I genuinely enjoy helping other live their best life. I love working with people from infancy to elderly and everything in between. I am compassionate and treat others the way I would want a caregiver to treat my family member.

I have always been people oriented and always try to help whenever I can. Helping older people who have done so much to make the world what it is now just feels like an honor to do. Getting to know and help someone who has been through it all is something I enjoy very much. As of now, my best personal achievement is being able to say that I'm living on my own with my boyfriend. It may not seem like much to some, but we have built what we have from nothing. We have 2 cats, and about 30 or 40 fish in our little apartment. Selling and raising fish has always been a dream of mine and we are there.

I am outgoing, and like to make people feel comfortable in what could be uncomfortable situations. I can improvise, adapt, overcome, and react quickly and appropriately in emergency situations. I was meant to be in this line of work. I can't say I chose it. I believe it's part of a plan. That's why I enjoy it, and have done well. One of the things I enjoy the most about this work is showing clients, through my actions, that they deserve great care, and that they aren't a "bother" and that there are people who like to see others happy and healthy.
