Post Surgery Recovery Caregivers in Osceola - 3 caregivers found

I have a passion for caring and helping others out. I enjoy caring for others that once cared for us. I love hearing their stories, getting to know them, and meeting their families. To see a smile on your loved one's face, is how I know they are having a great quality of life. That is what I love doing with being a caregiver. Their happiness, is my happiness. I love what I do. I also have my adult/child abuse certificate, and am CPR certified.

Over the years I have supported my husband in his various church ministries. Supporting him and raising our 5 children did not allow me to have a paying job, but it has given me many opportunities to help people in all different situations. I have worked with many disabled and elderly folk. We cared for an elderly man in our home for a short time and I was with him at his death. I have helped in homes with cleaning, cooking, physical hygiene, shopping, laundry, and companionship as well as comforting the dying. I was involved with the care of my own father until his passing two years ago. My mother may soon need my care as well. Years ago, I was trained as a CNA; however, this was before the days of certification. I worked for a couple years in a nursing home and then later in a home for the developmentally disabled. It was very rewarding work, and I was able to use the experience over the years to help and encourage people in our own churches. My husband is currently unemployed, but I still have a desire to find work that would allow me to help people in personal ways. At present I am on a waiting list to take the training to become a certified nursing assistant. I am pleasant, patient, compassionate, empathetic, hard working and honest. I have great respect for the wisdom and experience of the elderly. I try to help them have as much independence and dignity as possible. I enjoy cooking, crafting, sewing and 14 grandchildren!

I am a nurturer by nature.. I enjoy helping people Getting my LPN license being a single parent I enjoy helping others feel good physically and emotionally. I have been in the nursing field since age 14, and have enjoyed every aspect of it. I've worked in several health fields from nursing homes to a critical access hospital to hospice care.
