Palliative Care Caregivers in Dover - 11 caregivers found

Hi. My name is Becky. I have been a caregiver for over 20 years and still love it. I have a heart and passion for working with the elderly. I love helping them with their daily lives, chores, (helping with bathing, dressing, light house cleaning, cooking and feeding. Medicine reminders or giving medicine to them)and keeping them active. I have worked with clients that range with nothing wrong they just wanted companionship to ones who have dementia, and on hospice care. It makes me happy knowing that I can help them and help their families and giving them a break when they need one. I understand being a caregiver is a hard job and can be overwhelming at times for families. If I can help them out that is what I want to do. I love hearing their stories and about the old days for them.

My very first actual job was a CNA and I knew right away that it was the profession for me! I've always tried being the very best at treating others how it'd like to be treated! I look at each and every person I've ever cared for as if they were my own family and still keep in touch with many of them. I've always enjoyed helping people and making they're day easier and more enjoyable!

I have been caring for the elderly on and off since I was 19. I am kind, caring and patient. I have a gentle nature that sometimes help put people at ease.

I became a caregiver because I have a big heart and a lot to offer in ways of understanding and patience. I see my clients as people still and not just a job. I also have personal experience with special needs and a long range of care. From hydrocephalus and a shunt as well as multiple surgeries and recovery, incontinence and Cath care and multiple other things I have went through with one of my twins since birth. Also have worked with hospice patients and families. Have also went through my own person experiences with hospice and with loss including one of my children and with others close to me.

I have always wanted to work in the health care field. What really drew in into being a caregiver was taking care of my mother when she was going though her chemo treatments and after she had her surgery to get ride of her tumor. I am very dedicated to my work. I absolutely love caring for people and knowing that I am impacting their life in such a big way by doing little things.

I've been a caregiver for 3 years now. I absolutely love what I do! I promise to treat your family with dignity and respect as I would want my family treated.

I received my CNA certificate after my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal breast cancer. Prior to her being placed on hospice I would watch what the nurses were doing and when small things would happen I would take over. Example her if would constantly alarm I watched and learned to reset it if the nurse was busy. After my grandmother was placed on hospice she said to me after me helping to care for her she whispered to me moments before passing "baby doll this is your calling, God has placed you here to care for others please peruse this field". And I did just that. I retained my CNA and worked in various nursing homes and always had an interest in death and dying units. I wanted to make them as comfortable and content as possible. I wanted to be there as much as I could for those who had family place them in nursing homes and never visit. I wanted to be there like family . which led me to the choice being offered to a patient that use to come into the ER routinely. Until family of that patient offered me to take care of him at home until his last days... I worked for a nursing home where we had a husband and wife in separate sections of the nursing home I worked with the husband more frequently than the wife but one morning I arrived at work and heard thru our morning meeting report that the wife had passed and they hadn't told the husband . I offered because I was very close to him . long story short family was not going to make arrangements for him to attend her funeral due to limitations he had ie him being in a wheelchair and then not having access to transportation to get him there. Short staffed at the home I offered on my day off to see to him getting to the funeral home church and grave site. It was hard I pushed him thru areas that were grassy muddy and not meant for travel in a wheel chair but I did it . I put myself in his shoes that did and did whatever it took.

I'm reliable and dependable. I've been a CNA for 17 yrs. I decided to pursue this career because I believe my calling is to help others.

I have been a CNA for 11 yeas I've always enjoyed what I do . I enjoy being able to help others when they are not able . I'm very compassionate about what I do Very dependable and honest

I became a caregiver to give back to my community. I absolutely love and enjoy making a difference in the lives of others who are less fortunate to do so for themselves. I currently have my Emergency Medical Service license in good standing with the state of Tennessee as well as National Registration of Emergency Medical Technicians and current up to date CPR. I work 36 hours a week for a private EMS service in Nashville and am looking for a few extra hours to pick up during the week. I no longer have a current CNA license but have been licensed in the state of TN and am in good standing to renew my license if I so wish. I just left it expire due to the fact I am working EMS now and no longer working at any nursing homes/assisted living centers where it was required. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have. I look forward to speaking with you :)
