Post Surgery Recovery Caregivers in Santa Fe - 12 caregivers found

I have about 7 years experience in the healthcare industry. This includes 3 years working in a long term care facility as a cook and also as a CNA. I have taken care of 6 older men at the end of their lives and have my prerequisites for Masters in Occupational Therapy (MOT). This includes about 70 hours of working with O.T.s in geriatric, pediatric and a hospital settings. In addition to these experiences I have also taught holistic health classes to seniors that include the topics of nutrition, physical, mental and spiritual health. In these classes we practice Yoga and Tai Chi done in and around a chair as part of our body work. Since I am an older person myself and have had a number of health concerns and challenges through the years, I enjoy being able to share what has and hasn't worked for me in regards to my own health and working with the concerns of aging. I have always had "older" friends. Even when I was young I seemed to develop deeper relationships and friendships with aunts, uncles, neighbors and even landlords and employers. Trying to help others to find joy through a deeper connection to themselves, their situation and their lives usually bringsvit's own sense of rewards for me. On a personal note, I enjoy travel, seeing new place and experiences new cultures. I believe by experiencing diversity in its many forms we can begin to see how we are all connected and the oneness we all share. This in turn can help all of us find a sense of our own self and bring meaning to our lives. Often the most important thing we can do for each other is to simply listen and be with each other.

My name is Sherl Rehn and I moved to Santa Fe from Boston on September 8, 2007. I worked as a independent contractor and a personal assistant for a woman in Cambridge Massachusetts and other individuals in the Greater Boston Area. When I came to Santa Fe I joined Westminster Presbyterian Church and work for several of the church members. One of my clients had MS and I worked with him for a little over a year and until he need more intense care. I also worked with a woman who need personal care after a botched therapy. I took her to physical therapy appointments, to the store and did house and yard-work. In 2009 I became employed with Comfort Keepers as a Caregiver and eventually a Scheduler. I chose this line of work because I have so much compassion in my heart for those who are elderly, disabled, marginalized and disenfranchised members within our community and society as a whole. I love the elderly because I feel they all have an amazing story to tell and also have a lot to teach us if we would only listen to them. To me they are such precious individuals that live throughout the world. I took a semester off of school to deal with family issues and will be return summer semester to complete my final 13 credits of my Senior Year at New Mexico Highlands University. It is my plan to enter an Masters of Social Work program at an online University in the fall of this year.

My name is Ashley and I moved here from California in 2013. I have had a passion for takiing care of people for as long as I can remember. Recently I graduated with my Associates in Allied health, and am also pursuing my BSN in Nursing. My goal is to graduate with a Bachelors in Nursing, but to also get the most valuable experience related to my education that I can get through personal caregiving. I have also worked for many years at Center for Neuroskills in Baersfield CA before moving here and I loved the challenges it brought to my attention from beligerant patients with Dementia or Alzheimers or simply just mental challenges from a sustained brain injury no matter the case we are all human and deserve the upmost gentlest care as we would want for ourselves.
