Palliative Care Caregivers in Sumter - 10 caregivers found

I feel drawn to taking care of others. I served as a medical specialist for one term in the US Army National Guard. I also served as shift floor first responder at plants I worked at over the years while a cnc machinist. It has been my privilege to assist with hospice care for family and others through word of mouth. I've gone as far as getting ordained so I could spend time with one of the gentlemen I was caring for who requested me while in ICU. (They would only allow family and clergy.) I've worked with people recovering and in cancer treatment, dementia, alzheimers, deaf, blind, bed bound, mobility issues using wheel chairs and walkers, among other issues. As a caregiver, I have done many things: kept written log for family if needed, light housekeeping, baths and showers, laundry, medication monitoring, errands, helping with making and keeping appointments, the occasional over night stay, meal prep and much more. I'm also a mother of a child with a cleft pallet who also went through years of heart issues until she had surgery, and have a daughter with autism as well so special needs I'm more than comfortable with. It is my goal to make sure the comfort and safety of every individual meets their specific needs. As a caregiver, I treat everyone as extended family.

Growing up as a kid I saw a lot of death and sickness in my family. My grandmother took care of everyone in the family. So seeing her be strong and holding the family together during tough times made me compassionate on helping others. What I love most about being a caregiver is putting a smile on my patients face that lets me know my job is well done. I have 18 years of experience in health care.

I have been a certified nursing assistant for 17 years? I am excellent at caring for others. Helping individuals whom have been injured or those who are disabled or ailing is my passion. I take great pride in being a CNA and assisting where people can not completely do for themselves, to ease the load on the family and loved ones.

I'm very compassionate, I show empathy, I'm patience and self motivated. When providing care to any patient it's very important to have and to demonstrate these characteristics to family and their love ones. Showing them that you understand and to provide a listening ear can be essential to an individual overall care . To show empathy, putting myself in their shoes and to understand why they may feel the way they do.
