Respiratory Disorders Caregivers in Richwoods - 17 caregivers found

i have extensive experience caring for people. i previously ran a 12 person adult care facility, caring for their every need 24hrs a day. i love helping people gain their independence back and assisting them with daily tasks to make them feel more independent.

I spent 11 years in the military in which I was honorably discharged at the end of 2012. I completed and received an associate degree in art while serving. I continued my education while being unemployed from the time I was released from the military until April of 2013 and earned a bachelor degree in psychology. A week later I began practical nursing school and graduated top of my class a year later and was rewarded the leadership award. I passed my state board and earned my Practical Nursing license with an IV certification. I have since worked as an admission nurse, hospice nurse, agency nurse, floor nurse, managed a long term care facility, and was a day shift manager as well as a day shift unit supervisor. I recently completed my associate's degree in science in nursing and am waiting to sit for boards for my registered nursing license. I am looking to slowly transition from the facility setting into private duty helping people in their home setting.

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.

I am a home health aide/ Occupational Therapy Assistant. I work for a company as well as private care to help geriatric patients with ADLs, medication management, and mobility. I also help with light household duties. I have experience in different fields such as retirement facilities and nursing homes.

I enjoy caring for people I've been a CNA for 12 years now. I care for my hearing impaired brother,and help him with his 3 small children. My grandma worked in the hospital helping people. So I always wanted to be like her and care for people. All the different people i get to take care of and help make there life easier. Getting my level 1 Med Aide license.

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. I do have alot of patience to provide the best care possible. Safety is most important to me in caring for anyone. I am my 84yr. old mothers caregiver. She lives in my home , I do let her do for herself as much possible. I know it makes her feel good when she can do things for herself. Caregiving is a huge personal accomplishment and puts a smile on my face when I can help another. I have taken care of Alzheimer Patients, Residents with Dementia , Hospice Care, and Stroke Patients. I am very Proud to be in this field and care very deeply for people and always do my very best at caring for your loved ones.

I am one of the most easy going, whole hearted, loving people you will meet. I take full pride in all of my work with my patients/clients, and I have been told by everyone I have cared for that it is my calling. That I have a servants heart. I started caregiving at the age of 19, there was something about it that completely drew me in and once I started there was no stopping because I love it so much. The best things about being a caregiver to me are the smile that lights up the room when I walk in, the happy tears when I doll up a lady after a good shower and make her feel beautiful when she hasn't felt that in a while, and being a part of so many wonderful families that you just cherish those memories for the rest of your life. It's truly a blessing. A personal achievement that I am proud of would be being named Employee of the Year and Month for taking on an entire census of patients by myself when both of my co workers had resigned. It was tough, but I got it done and my whole team through a celebration for me. Being a caregiver has taught me so many wonderful things in life, and I couldn't be more grateful.

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 am a very caring and outgoing person. I love being a caregiver because I love helping people. I try making the person feel as comfortable as possible, by that I mean getting older is sometimes hard enough, then on top of that not being able to fully care for yourself can be quite discouraging and harder for some to accept, I like to help them and make them feel better about their situation at the same time.The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is knowing I can make a difference in someones life. Personal achievement I am proud of is becoming a CNA.

I'm a very loving caring happy friendly outgoing caregiver. That I feel is my calling and I am very passionate about what I do. I have never gotten a bad experience. and nothing is to much I can't handle. the thing I enjoy the most is giving my clients happiness! One of my personal achievement is I was the only person she would do anything for like exercise and she went from bed bound to walking again.
