Palliative Care Caregivers in Contoocook - 6 caregivers found

I started my career in health care in 2005, I am compassionate and reliable. I have experienced a lot in the last 13 years related to this field. I have experience with Alzheimer's, prosthetics, medication administration, colostomy, trachs, just to name a few.

Becoming a Caregiver was out of necessity, to fulfill one woman's simple request of not being placed into a nursing home. She had had a challenging childhood: daily nourishment often was tea and bread; coats were used as blankets during the evening. She persevered during her marriage, raising a brood of children while being the dutiful wife. So, when called upon, it was an opportunity to give back. I have found that I have great resolve, have not floundered in my integrity, and have given care with compassion and kindness. In doing so, I have been greatly rewarded.

Ever since freshman year in high school, I have always wanted to do something that related to the medical field. First it was orthopedics and then pharmacy. I did not know that my mind would change to care giver until my junior year. I took a health science technology class starting my junior year. It was a two year class. Junior year was more focused on anatomy and physiology and Senior year we got to decide which path we wanted to go down. I chose the LNA path. I have always wanted to help people and going towards this path seemed like a sure-fire way to get there. I loved doing my clinicals at the two nursing homes near my school. It was an amazing experience. Knowing that I can help someone get through their day a little easier meant the world to me. Almost six years after graduating high school, I am still doing what I love and taking care of the people that need it the most.

I am a very energetic woman, I love what as a job , am so respectful, polite, always smiling and honest......

Hi, my name is Catherine. I'm currently a college student getting a degree to become a physical therapist assistant. I've been in the private caregiving business for 2 1/2 years and before that I worked for a staffing agency as a LNA which but me in many types of settings(hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes).I became a caregiver after helping take care of my grandfather we got cancer, I've always enjoyed taking care of helping others and my love for the profession grew from there. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver, is to see the happiness I can bring to a client just by doing little things for them or making there days easier along with the families.
