Palliative Care Caregivers in Knox County - 11 caregivers found

Welcoming you with warm wishes. Just wanted to share alittle about me. I'm 34 yrs old. I've worked since age 14yrs. My mom was a single mom raising 3 kids. I enjoyed working hard and I have always been a giving hearted person. I remember I used to get my paychecks an was so excited I was able to but my mom dinner from a days hard of work. I was first introduced to an entry level position in the State of Kansas as a Residential Trainer for people who face physical and mental challenges and I did that for 3 years. It was so rewarding. Very hard work but I have always been very open to learning new things and I enjoy challenges. If we stay in where were comfortable. The you limit yourself from learning and doing what you can to be the hands and feet for Gods kingdom. After doing that for 3 yrs I decided to get my nurses aide license and doing that for so many years has been such a wonderful opportunity. I absolutely love my elders and I AM THE VOICE WHO SPEAKS UP FOR THEM. I believe that there is way too many people shoved in a room with a facility that lacks sufficient staffing to give the residents attention to give them the essentials like a regular bath and hygiene and clothes put on. I've seen too much of the THE BAD AND THE UGLY in institutions and to me that's NO WAY for anyone to live or spend there retirement in. I love talking and sharing stories, praying, I enjoy providing exceptional care to all clients I come in contact. I'm very friendly. My passion in life is people going above and beyond the call of duty. I'm flexible and reliable as I dont have any kids. Just 3 sweet dogs. Goals I'm working towards and emails the Congress is to shut down institutions and create group homes with a maximum of 5 clients per 1 Nurses Aide Ratio because in the end it would save money on healthcare costs for our elders and reduce risk and injuries and could extend there life. https://www.facebook.com/HealingBeginsInTheHeart Blessings- Heather Sperry

I'm very loving and compassionate person who enjoy helping elderly people. I'm very patient and flexible. I'm a very honest and reliable person. I really enjoy helping people. It's very rewarding to be able to help someone. My personal achievement is I've been working seven years as a caregiver. I'm a licensed STNA.

I became a caregiver because my mother was a nurse. She did home health care for years and she always talked about how much she loved it. When I started into this field it was in hospice care and I loved it. I loved being there with families and helping them through the very difficult times. I always spent more time than required so I could ensure that things were the best they could be considering the situation. I tend to be a fairly quite person at first but become chattery once I feel comfortable. I have always been that way but I have become better with age. I love helping people. And spending time just talking if that's all they would like.

I am a RN with experience in home health nursing. I worked two years part time as a personal care aid. I worked for one family taking care of their autistic teenage son. After receiving my RN credentials I wanted to continue home health care. I worked as a visiting nurse for an agency for 6 months. November of 2015 I received a provider number for Medicaid waiver nursing and have been working as an Independent nurse since then.

My bubbly personality helps make the patients feel like they're getting care from someone who cares, I strive to be a smiling face for them everyday. I love being a caregiver because it gives me the ability to help where it is needed. Being a care giver gives me opportunities to meet new people and push myself to be better, everyday is a different day ! I take pride in the simple things like making the bed and cleaning the house perfectly, making sure the patient is clean with clean clothes on and smile on they're face .

I am very compassionate and thorough with my patients. Skin breakdown and falls are not allowed! I joined this field because I loved my grandparents. I most enjoy the hugs and making someone's world a better place. I am most proud of being able to offer comfort to those in need.

Positive attitude. Willingness to help. Great people skills. Love the feeling of doing something good. One of the most emotionally rewarding jobs. Being the best mommy to my 4 boys!

Hi! I spent several years taking care of my grandparents and I understand the blessings and burdens of caregiving. I would love to provide your loved one with a fresh face, different conversation, companionship, and help around the house while providing you with the confidence to leave for a bit, fulfilling your own responsibilities or maintaining much-needed self-care. I can help with companionship, meal prep, housekeeping, transportation, or respite care. I will provide an accounting of how the time with your loved one was spent and any changes in behavior or peculiarities I observe during my time there. I enjoy the elderly population and recognize their lives consist of much more than their current state of physical or mental health, treating them with respect and dignity.
