Parkinson's Disease Caregivers in Clinton County - 30 caregivers found

The reason I became a caregiver is because helping people is my greatest attribute. I'm an outgoing young lady, gifted with the ability to make connections with people. I am easily adaptable to any environment, and I know how to care for, interact with and understand people with physical and mental disabilities. My favorite part about being a caregiver is connecting with my residents. Working in a nursing home has helped me find that each individual has their certain quirks, and routines. And what makes me the happiest is when I learn those routines and witness my residents happiness because of my assistance.

I believe I'm a good listener and I care about the wellbeing of others. I have known since the 7th grade that I want to help others empower themselves.

Hi, My name is Dee, I've been a CNA for years by now, I have experience in home health and nursing homes as well. I love to help people in need. Thank you,

I'm a good care giver because I treat my clients as if the are family ..... understand when the are in pain they might not be in the best of moods. I try to understand the best I can and help the best I can.

I was a caregiver to a quadriplegic professor when I was in college to help pay for my tuition. After college, I continued doing private care on the side for some Alzheimer patients at a nursing home. In 2004, I enrolled at a nursing school for a year and a half. I did not finish my degree, but I did receive my certification as a CNA and as a Medication Technician. I keep up to date with the newest discoveries and findings in the world of medicine. Even though I have not had any new medical training, I am current on my knowledge of diseases, medications and side effects of such medications. For instance, I am aware that when you care for an Alzheimer's patient, you step into his/her world, and not insist that he/she conforms to your expectations of what is real. I am compassionate and capable. All of the kids are either all grown or almost grown, but I still have this vast need to nurture. My husband refuses to be smothered, so, I need to go out of the house and find someone else who would appreciate being cared for :-) My kids are my biggest accomplishment. The eldest is going to medical school this summer, and the middle one is attending UMKC in August. The youngest one is doing great as a Sophomore while giving out just enough sass to maintain her teenage status.
