Parkinson's Disease Caregivers in Newfield - 15 caregivers found

I became a caregiver because I did not want to work in main stream Healthcare anymore. My passion is helping seniors the way they and their family's want to be cared for without Healthcare systems making the choices for their care. I worked as a physical therapy assistant for 27 years. The last 8 were in a rehabilitation department at a skilled nursing facility. I have enjoyed the last 9 years doing private home care as a caregiver. Helping individuals live their lives with dignity, safety and loving care.

I hope to bring a smile each day to every client I work with; I'm a very positive person and reliable. I have nearly 30 years experience in the healthcare field. I was working in a factory setting in my youth and really was not happy. I saw an ad for a CNA class at the Rochester Manor, so by keeping my job and taking the class at night, I was able to learn a whole new career, which has been so gratifying. The people that I have been able to meet over the years are truly inspiring, and they all have a story to tell, and I enjoy lending an ear.

I have always enjoyed working with people and have missed that since retiring from nursing a few years ago. I love getting to know people, finding out their interests and hearing their life stories. I am an upbeat and friendly person and find great joy in being of assistance to others in ways that improve their quality of life and happiness. I grew up in a big family and value those special relationships. I realize a lot of people don't have a big family to rely on and I'm here to help fill that need. (I didn't see a place to mention this, but I am also available to help with your pets.)

I always enjoyed helping senior citizens out. I always try and put my best foot forward. During my shift i want to make my client feel extremely comfortable and satisfied with my work ethics. My personality is outgoing and enjoy talking sports if he wants to. If you ask for my opinion, I'll give the family a response as good as my training has given me.

I am a team player. Very dependable. Have references. Have experience with MS, Parkinson's disease, and alzheimers.

I have been a caregiver for nearly 30 years: I always arrive to work with a positive and upbeat attitude. I love working with the elderly. There is so much to learn from their many years on this earth. I treat all my clients as I would want my own elderly parents to be treated.

I've been an LNA for four years now and I am working towards getting my RN at Great Bay as well. I have a five year old daughter and I am looking for first or third shift during the week so I can still see her when she gets out of school. On the weekends, I am able to work anytime

I am very caring. I Listen and am patient. I communication with client and company. I keep everything private. I Like knowing I can make a difference in there life. I took a course where I am now so I could give meds. I feel like that was a personal achievement.

When given the option to help or not I will always jump up to be the first to lend a hand. I have always had a love for helping others and enjoy the connections that can be made through a little tlc. My favorite thing about being a caregiver is knowing that I changed a persons day for the better. I am a very happy fun loving individual.

I first started caregiving when I was 17. My first job was for glorias helping hands. At first i wasnt sure about how i felt about the type of work. I didnt have much experience as to what i was doing. I took some classes and got my rcs1 and crma first. Rcs1 is a residential care specialist and a CRMA is a certified residential medical assistant. As i learned more and worked more I realized that is was my passion to help others who may need some assistance in things they can no longer do. Honestly u really do have to have a passion for this type of work because u never know what could happen or what situation u may end up in. And some of the disabilities, and some health issues can be challenging. Ive been very lucky to continue and have worked and learned various disabilities, as well as illnesses. Today i have my rcs1, pss,cna, and also insulin certified, cpr certified, and first aid certified. I love knowing that I'm making a difference and im helping and am there for someone who needs some support and help in their life.
