Palliative Care Caregivers in Alex - 13 caregivers found

I have always been the caregiver in my family from my grandmother who suffered a heart attack when I was 11 up to 2016 when my mother-in-law became ill with Parkinson's. It gives me a sense of fulfillment when I make my clients smile...whether it is from cooking their favorite meal or just listening to their life stories. Since I have trained in two different modern health facilities, I am very aware of what to watch for to prevent medical emergencies. My previous clients' families have nicknamed me "Angel" because I always want to make their stressed lives easier...and to create an environment where they can ENJOY being with their loved ones again. I am proud that I am very close to obtaining my CNA license (taking the Oklahoma State Exam in August), having taken 16+ senior homecare courses and training with the very best homecare agencies. I am looking forward to using my God-given talents to help seniors enjoy their lives to the fullest.

I have been a caregiver for 35 years. I have an adult son with disabilities. I have two sets of aging parents who need help. I also have a sister who I provide care for. I am a reliable, dedicated, self-driven individual. I have 2 beautiful, snuggly granddaughters who rock my world! I enjoy, crafts, camping, reading, and helping others.

My journey into Home Health, Hospice and Caregiving started unexpectedly and quite personally. My then 16-year old daughter was diagnosed with a very rare malignant brain tumor. Fast forward 21 years. Although I enjoyed a very successful career as an IT Consultant, it was not emotionally satisfying. I am a caregiver at heart. I have cared for a young woman, now a young adult since her diagnosis with muscular dystrophy as a child. This is on an as-needed basis and she now enjoys independence in her own home. Working with my elderly families has been extremely rewarding. And caring for someone in their final season of life is something God put me on this earth to do. I raise an amazing teen granddaughter and she keeps me young at heart. Her love for pets keeps me on my toes with her two dogs, one cat and Waldo - her turtle. I am enrolling in the WINGS program and will receive my Certified Nursing Assistant(CNA)/Home Health Aide Certification in fall of 2020. This will be immediately followed by their Medication Management Certification program. Although I have performed in these roles and more for two decades, I have only recently decided to accomplish these Certifications. *Note, Any overnight, weekend or holiday shifts will be on an exception basis only*

Hello! My name is Krystal! I am 27, I have two children! I have been a caregiver since childhood, it just came natural. My uncle was handicapped, and a slight medical miracle, his continuing life surprising us every day. I spent my childhood taking care of him with family. At age 6, my cousin was in a car accident and left a quadriplegic with a severe wound in his stomach that required a wound vac, a halo, and several tubes and IV's. Carefully, I always helped with almost all of his care needed. My mother managed the Alzheimer's unit in a nursing home, I spent almost every day there after school. My passion only grew. I started CNA classes in 2010 in high school, finished in 2012 and started work in my local nursing home soon after. I've continued to work my way up, and had dreams of being a pediatric surgeon, but my children and seeing them grow up was more important than my career. I need to be here for all of their small moments. I've been working from home lately, and while I feel my current job does have a purpose, I would love to be back out there, actually caring for my people face to face. I miss the interactions and connections I build with them and their families.

Each patient becomes my top priority. Their individual needs are evaluated and using my expertise from years of training, I develop relationships that make patients feel safe, secure, and well taken care of. I go over and beyond to see patient improvements each day. Sometimes this requires working with assigned medical staff to give them my care plan. i feel honored to be able to help and assist others. My compassionate nature and my love to help others drew me to this line of work. i believe it is a very important job and its also rewarding to serve the elderly and disabled.

I am a compassionate individual with a big heart. My goal is to make a difference in the lives that I touch as I am invited into someone's home to care for their loved one. I believe in being organized, compassionate, loving, and bringing joy to those who are chronically or terminally ill. My passion to become a caregiver, started with becoming a hospice nurse. As a result, I have formed special relationships with families' of patient's that I once care for. I enjoy being able to go home at the end of the day knowing that I made someone smile. The one thing I am most proud of, is being able to share a part of me with a complete stranger and being able to make memories that will last a lifetime for that person.

Caring for people comes second nature to me. I enjoy helping others and I am in this field because it is what I love and what I was meant to do.I am a male Christian CNA waiting to take my PCT Exam Certification.I have competed my classroom work ,Clinical,and Externship.I have many years experience in caretaking. I have worked with clients one on one. I have also worked in group homes with 3 clients at a time and nursing homes with 8 patients at a time.I have also had the pleasure of working with autistic young men in private home settings.

Am a certified nursing assistant, i have compassion for people. Like taking care of people this give me great joy.

I have worked in skilled nursing facilities for 12 years and home health for 4 years. I love working with the elderly and have a strong desire to help people live the best life as independently as possible. I want to help people stay in their own home as long as possible. I am very patient, caring, genuine, trustworthy, positive attitude, get along with everyone.

I believe I am a great caregiver for the simple fact I develop a personal connection with each and every one of my clients I am very outgoing and kind. I am a great advocate for my clients and always put their wants and needs above all. I have received multiple thank you notes from multiple employers for going above and beyond.
