I am a fun outgoing caregiver who strongly believes in aging with grace and dignity, and on your own term. Maintaining independence is key to this. Let me help keep you in your home. I have been a LPN for 6 years and was a CNA for 20 years prior to becoming a nurse. I have the experience necessary to care for your loved one.

You don't have to be born or aged to have a disability. I feel that any one of us could be disabled if an accident happens. And if that did happen, I would hope that I had caring individuals to also help me. I want to help and care for someone the way I would want to be cared for. To be respected the way I would want respect. I enjoy being able to help. Bringing someone into your home requires a lot of trust. I am honest and trustworthy. My greatest achievement has been being able to witness true happiness in a highly disabled individual!

I started off in the business almost 10 years ago helping my mom with clients yardwork and chores and transportation. A little more than 7 years ago I began helping a man with arthritis. I helped him get his day going, straightened up and returned in the evening to put him to bed. I did rehab work in the afternoons. It keeps you on the go, and the days go quickly, which I like. I don't like just putting in hours with clients, I like doing things with them. I was a sales manager for 5 years but this work much more rewarding. People truly appreciate it when you help them. I like make life more manageable or improvements in their health, its good work. I have a lot of experience with gait belts. My use of this is easily my best contribution to the client. I have prevented dozens of falls, and that is something to hang your hat on. No one falls with me.

My top personality traits that help me be a great caregiver, is my level of patience, communication skills, and the simple fact that I genuinely care about the people that I work with. Even though it is a job I see it as an opportunity to learn new things, and gain new perspectives on life. I worked for comprehensive health care, and have loved it sense. My mother is a CNA and works in home health care, she helped me get into this line of work. I was afraid at first but I began to truly enjoy helping others, I love hearing their story's and giving them companionship. Recently, one lady I was taking care of passed away and you never know how much of an impact they have on you until that happens. It really opened up my mind and heart working with the elderly, I personally am proud of just being able to make people happy.

I like to help other. I have 5 children. I like for people to be able to stay in there homes as long as possible. I love hearing stories about people.

I believe I am a great caregiver because I genuinely care for the people I take care of and treat them as if they were my own family. I want them to be happy when they see me and be able to confidently say I take good care of them. A few years ago, I never saw myself doing this type of work whatsoever. I honestly really needed a job and a local nursing home hired me and took me through classes to get certified! I found myself there for over a year and I knew almost everyone by name on all of the halls. I had a special bond with one lady in particular and she always loved seeing me come into her room. She always made sure to tell me how good I'm doing. Overall, just knowing I am helping those who cannot help themselves gives me some sense of purpose and it makes me feel good. You get close to the people you take care of and they become like a grandma or grandpa to you. My favorite part about having a little extra time and sitting down to talk to some of the residents. I'm fascinated by what things were like 50+ years ago and hearing all about their life and experiences. I also enjoy looking at pictures with them. Every single one of them have different quarks and personalities and it's so fun talking to some of them. I am most proud of the way I can confidently say that I take GOOD care of my residents and that I do it for more than just a check. If I can go home with a clear mind and know for sure I did the best of my ability, I know I'm doing something right. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my mom or grandparents.

I have been in this field of care giving for 20+years. I enjoy being sociable, energetic, being kind, sympathetic and always happy to help.
