Palliative Care Caregivers in Marion - 5 caregivers found

I have over ten years' experience in caregiving. I enjoy helping people in need. I am understanding, patient, and kind.

I have been in the medical field for almost 14 years. Healthcare is my passion. My grandmother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when I was 8 years old. Everyday that I was with her, I done my best to take care of her and get her anything that she needed. She told me that I was her little nurse, and that stuck in my mind. I knew from that moment on that I wanted to be in healthcare. I enjoy taking care of people, getting to know them and doing my best to provide the care that is needed. A personal achievement that makes me most proud would be doing the heimlich maneuver on a choking Vietnam vet successfully. A couple years later his diabetes and edema got worse and he was not expected to make it much longer. I stayed with the family and done my best to make him and his family comfortable during this time and gave them as much support that I could.

Caregiver for the past 15 plus years. Have experience with Hospice care from taking care of my father, took care of my husband 2 years ago when he had a broken ankle then months later had to deal with him developing blood clots being put on blood thinners, I've worked with IDD population prior to taking care of my husband & father. I've worked in nursing homes, involved in metal health classes & work in a Gero-Psch ward, loved helping my patients.

I love being a caregiver. I take pride in my ability to connect with and love people in general. I feel that this isnt a job , for me its more of a calling. I look forward to getting to know you and your family. Thank you

Hello! My name is Makayla. I have been a CNA for about 2 years. I love caring for others and helping the elderly. I chose to be a caregiver because I have always wanted to be a nurse growing up and being a CNA helps with hands on care. I'm currently in college for Occupational Therapy!
