About Carrie

I am great with people. I have never worked in the caregiving ballpark but I have done plenty of customer service jobs and I get along with most people. For elders I find it to be something I especially like to take care of them because they can't take care of themselves. Caregiving is not for everyone but I know this is the job I want and I want to grow with this job, meaning eventually I want to becoming a CNA and after that possibly a nurse. But for now starting out as a caregiver is a great start and I am currently a caregiver but am not getting paid enough to make ends meet and that is why I would like to find another company and once I find one I can put in my two weeks where I am at now. I have had about 5 or 6 clients and each and every one has recommended to the company that I come back, and I take pride in that because I strive to make my clients happy and comfortable.

I love my job! I'm new to being a caregiver but I love what I do. My tasks consist of giving baths, whether that be a bed bath, shower, or a bath, getting them dressed, changing their depends, sometimes wiping them after they use the bathroom, I drive them to go to doctors appointments and run errands with/for them, make them breakfast/lunch/dinner, I am good at picking them up out of their wheelchair/bed/chair or what have you, I do light housekeeping, could involve vacuuming, sweeping, doing the dishes, making their bed, wiping off countertops, doing their laundry, etc, and I act as a companion for them meaning I will sit there and talk with them and keep them company during my shifts when there is nothing else to do.
