Palliative Care Caregivers in Baring - 5 caregivers found

I developed my passion to be a caregiver after i took care myself of my husband who died of cancer. We then are in and out of the hospital and everyday i saw how sick and old people need their fellow to take care of them and look after them. During my day to day experience doing my job i feel a sense of happiness and fulfilment in what i do knowing i am able to help somebody who needs me.

I have over 15 years of experience providing reliable and compassionate care in both an Adult Family Home and in private home settings. I am committed to providing quality care while focusing on a person's emotional well being, understanding the importance of listening to, talking to and providing emotional support to clients.

As my 3 daughters grew and moved, I chose to care for my Mother with cancer, when she passed away, I found others who needed help thru friends and referrals. I took all classes necessary to fulfill the state requirements to be licensed in Washington state as a CNA . I have since been a long term caregiver to 3 Clients who have now passed, and to 4 shorter term clients that have since improved. I have a positive outlook, and enjoy the company of others who are seeking a little help , to be needed gives me purpose.

I know how to empathize in situations where I need to be empathetic. Patience and flexiblity is a must I get it, there are times when you might need someone to show up unannounced at any given time. I understand things happen, so just give me a call make sure I'm close by. I'm super attentive and respond to situations in a timely manner. I always put the needs of my senior first and I am able to take charge when necessary. I'm known for being a good listener but an excellent communicator. I can be creative at times making each day a little different, an overall good time. I am also committed and dependable and supportive. On & off the clock you'll come to realize that I am a trustworthy person & that I am able to maintain confidentiality in it's whole intergirty. To me a sense of humor is acceptable to anyone, it brings the magic to the room & enlightenment shines right through, so yes I see myself as a humorous person at times. Every day I am capable of being emotionally tough to not only protect, but to instruct the patient on the things that need to be done, showing a sense of Independence which shows cooperation. I should be physically fit and have a strong constitution and I will be always available able to perform light housekeeping duties at all times. So if I fit the picture, then give me a call so we can brief up on what to do next. Thank you so much for reading.

I graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and two minors in human development and sociology. Since then I have been working for a residential care agency with adult family homes and single individual apartments. I began as a caregiver and moved up to a site supervisor and eventually an area supervisor. As an area supervisor I manage eight special needs clients and 25 staffing caregivers. I am looking to change my job and do private caregiving as it will be closer to my home. I absolutely love being a caregiver and I cannot imagine myself doing anything else. I have a vast array of experience with many types of medical diagnoses and special needs. I strongly believe that the greatest skills a caregiver can have is incredible patience and to remain positive and smiling for those you care for! If you are interested and want to know more please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.
