Hi my name is Linda, I am patient, kind, understanding, enjoy spending time being a caregiver, helping with your needs and giving quality care. Recently retired LVN and CNA. Proud of being a registered CNA 2004 -2014 and Licensed LVN 2014-2023

I am 30 years old. I've always loved taking care of any and everybody. I feel that you create a bond with your clients and they should be treated just like you would treat your own family members.

I have 2 years of experience being a caregiver. I was drawn to this job as a younger teenager because I wanted to get my foot in the door of the healthcare community. And I enjoy it because I like helping people.

Through all my years I learned how to be a caregiver! I enjoy working as a care giver! My job become priority duties! Make sure daily activities for my client, make sure my family comfortable take care of there love one

I can help relive the old days I live working with the elderly because I love to hear the stories back when they were little and young. I become a caregiver/cna because I know how hard their family member work. I'm proud of myself because I know leaving I did the best to understand my client and left them with a smile in there face when I leave and how happy they get when they see me the morning as soon I step in their house

I love seeing smiles on people's faces.If someone is need of help I like to be the one to help them to assure they are happy and ok.I love cooking and cleaning as well as making sure every nutrition is taken in.I like to motivate people the best I can to let them know there potential and what they are capable of. The thing that attracted me to be a caregiver is being able to help someone who has helped someone there whole life and is now struggling to do it now .To be able to put a smile on someone's face and know they are taken care of. I enjoy being a caregiver because I love helping people.I love making sure that my resident is safe and comfortable as well as well taken care of.I also enjoy hearing some of there life stories what they used to do and motivate them to still do some of it . I am proud of being able to help others

I have been working as a Nurse Aide for about four months. I completed my training, and am waiting on the results of my state test for my CNA license. When you become a CNA, it gives you the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of people, which is something I've always wanted to do. The job can be very demanding, but it is also very rewarding. The relationships you build with your patients are like no other, and it is a good feeling when you can help your patients feel better. I first thought about becoming a CNA when my grandfather was diagnosed with a terminal illness similar to Parkinson's. Hospice came into our home to care for him when it became too much for us to handle on our own. They were very helpful, and provided him with not only care, but also companionship. Seeing the difference that they made not only for my grandfather, but also for me and the rest of my family, that is what made me want to get into healthcare. I believe that is what makes me a great caregiver. I think about each of my patients as if they are my own family. And if they were, I would want only the best care for them. That is why I always strive to do the absolute best I can to care for my patients.

I honestly went right in to provider as a young 19 yr girl. This is my calling always will be to make someones day with just a simple gesture or a smile. I think what attracted me as young girl that cared totally 100 percent was just living the life I had and pushed myself to be a bigger and better person,I lived with my grandmother and then she lived in the nursing home and I would always go and be with her and the residents. I appreciated my life by viewing what others lived...Sometimes not so fortunate. Will I enjoy being a care taker to brighten someones day with a act kindness and just being myself...knowing I made a difference in someones Day. My personal acheivment I Made was always knowing that everyone knew that I worked with. Bosses Case managers Nurses.Doctors friends that I totally would Give 100 percent of me rather if it came out good or bad I was always viewed as A great employee and Friend ...Giving a 100 percent of me...

He was very challenging - personal care was handled by my husband (I was his little sister and he would not allow me to care for him in that manner). Worked with home health care agency like my mother. Worked with hospice. Helped care for my husband's father for 4 months.

I got intrested in health care when my own father got sick and need care, we werent able to afford in home care so we made it work but he took a turn for the worse and couldn't help any longer. I wanted to help others as much i could.
