Palliative Care Caregivers in Abbottstown - 28 caregivers found

I am a loving and caring person and I love helping others. I love my job and what it allows me to do for others. I have been on the receiving end of having a loved one get very sick and bounce back and forth from nursing home to hospital so I know all too well not just the physical but the emotional strain that situations like these can have for people and family's. This is why I try my best to help the best I can in any situation. I choose to get into this line of work because unfortunately I had to see first hand with a loved one that not everyone is properly taken care of or even cared about in these situations and that is just awful and unfair. When my loved one passed away I vowed to make a difference, even if its just one person or a small few its better then none or just doing nothing.

I am a great caregiver because I treat my clients male, or female, as if he, or she, are one of my family members. No there's no limits to my care, I will always go above and beyond. I've changed a lot of live, I also have saved lives, with in the past fourteen years I've been in this field. I became a caregiver because of several family members are in the same field, my mom is an registered nurse, going on 35 years, my grandmother was a LPN, and my aunts are CNA. So it deep rooted, so to speak.

Hello I'm Samantha a 26 year old female I started in this industry out of high school after losing my great grandmother to cancer I wanted to be able to make a difference in peoples lives, to provide a better quality of life for those who need it, from being a companion, to cooking meals, tidying the house, or running errands and doctors appointments, it's just as important for those who can't do everything on their own to be able to have access and assistance to complete daily living and activities.

Hi my name is Katiy pronounced Katie but with a Y. Yes it's different. I am 30 years old almost 31 and a single parent of a 14 year old girl. Yes I was young but it made me grow up and mature and be responsible at a young age and it molded me into the person I am today. I'm originally from Cumberland MD. I have been living in littlestown PA since June 2021 so I'm still getting familiar with the area so thank goodness for GPS. I am a happy outgoing person who tries to look at the positive in every situation. I was raised by my grandmother be herself who passed in 2009 from cancer. Well she decided she didn't want to pass in the hospital and wanted to be home so we hired hospice. I also decided I would move back in with her and take care or her like she did me. And I did. The sicker she got I changed her and bathed her and took care of the house and dog for her. I made sure she got her medication every day and at night I always put on her favorite movie and we would sit and watch it together. The hospice nurse that came always told me what a great job I was doing and I should go into the healthcare field. I always wanted to go back to college and become a nurse but things didn't work out that way. Yet. Instead I started working in nursing homes as housekeeping or laundry then went to dietary so I learned the difference in residents diets . I just took in all the information I could. I overthink everything and pay attention to every detail no matter how small. I got my first caregiver job last year. I loved working with residents and providing them the care they could no longer give themselves and I love putting a smile on there face. Then I got my med tech certification. So now I administer medication and also make sure they have a smile on there face everyday. I am responsible, caring, outgoing, and love what I do. I always treat my residents with the love and care they deserve and I treat them how I would want someone to treat my grandmother if wasn't there.
