Respiratory Disorders Caregivers in Whitewater - 19 caregivers found

When my mother was ill, I was the one she would call to make her scrambled eggs. I took her to the swimming pool and hot tub to get exercise and relaxation. I cut her hair, took her to doctor's appointments and then lunch, and generally gave her some companionship. As I dusted her knickknacks, she told me where each was from. Mom died in 2002. When dad was ailing, some of my family tried to move him into assisted living, but he wanted to stay in his own home. I gave up my apartment and moved in with him, while working in publishing during the day. We had a great time together for a year and a half. Just after he died, I lost my job because I had spent too much time with dad. That evening, the daughter of a neighbor I'd assisted over the years called me, asking if I could help her mother. That began years of caregiving in which I have helped people stay in their homes, and enjoy life. I've brought my keyboard and played hymns and popular songs, singing with them and laughing. As a caregiver, I am simply happy to help my people stay in their own familiar setting. I believe the way I interact with them makes them happy. And my cooking makes them extremely happy! I built my cooking experience on my mom's, then learned to cook for fewer than 8 people! I edited three "Taste of the Country" cookbooks, working with a professional dietician who taught me many ways to fit dietary needs while providing tasty food.

I am looking for a full time long term live-in position. I am drug free, only drink socially and do NOT do drugs. I will relocate myself upon hire. Here's my short list: I am a 62 year old semi-retired Respiratory Therapist. I have my own vehicles. I am very organized and have lots of experience caring for people. Excellent cook, housekeeper and home organizer. I currently cook, clean and do laundry for my client in addition to his personal care and companionship. My current position is live-in with room and board and $525 per week salary. I work for myself on a cash basis. I lately worked as a live-in caregiver for an 88 year old who recently went into hospice care and has passed away, I currently work as a live-in Resident Assistant at an Adult Family Group Home for developmentally disabled. Prior to that, I was a personal assistant/housekeeper/cook for Racine's Case High School Principal (Wisconsin), until he moved to CA for health issues. Prior to that I was live-in Housekeeper/cook for a professional gay couple in Trevor, WI. I have tons of experience with children, and have a 35 year medical background. Also interested in positions in Ashland County, OH 44805 area and will re-locate for the right position. Please be aware of State Laws regarding live-in domestic care givers hours for work. There are time off requirements. 24 hours a day 7 days per week is not an expectation you should have. It's demanding work and all caregivers need time to recharge. You will need a fill in for daily time off and two days off per week. Looking forward to hearing from you. Don Houser Burlington, WI exmedpo@yahoo.com 262-631-0934

The reason why I became a caregiver is because of my grandmother. I like caring for other because I feel like that could be my grandmother or my grandfather and how would I want them to be treated and cared for. So that is why I make sure that my clients or cared for and are happy when I am there and when I leave and hopefully they are happy to see me when they see me again. Sometimes they just would someone there to talk to and listen to them.

I have RN with background from newborn to 100+ years with complex medical needs. I love making a difference and educating, especially nutrition with overall well being.

I discovered my passion for care giving after my uncle was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. I love being a caregiver and have a passion for helping others and making a difference. I am proud of myself for receiving my certificate in Pharmacy Tech with outstanding grades. I am currently seeking a job as a caregiver hoping to help others and provide care as I did for my uncle before he passed.

I have been a medical professional for 30 years. I have been an RN for 22 with special training in critical care, medical/surgical and elderly care.
