I am a retired Human Resource Specialist. I retired in 2005. In 2014, I visited my brother and his wife, both in their 70's and disabled. Little did I know that they were in bad need of a caregiver. Out of love in my heart for them (as i had no caregiving experience), what was to be a two week visit turned out to be a six month visit. I essentially became their caregiver, monitored their medication, took them wherever they needed to go, accompanied them on doctor visits, made all their medically related appointments, spoke with the pharmacist relative to their medications, did all the cooking and cleaning. I found the work most rewarding and enjoyed it thoroughly. After returning home six months later I decided I would go to work as a caregiver. My past work as a disability claims manager and coordination with case managers, medical staff and the employee equipped me with the skills to be an excellent caregiver. I am very much a nurturer, compassionate, empathetic and have a pleasing personality. I love the elderly, children and pets, I am a nonsmoker. As a caregiver I'm very proud of my ability to redirect dementia and Alzheimer's patients, they're the most challenging patients but the most rewarding to me each time I'm able to redirect them. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is bringing joy and purpose to the lives of my patients, I enjoy grooming them and getting them ready for the day, making their bed as they watch, they love that. I do love my caregiving work.
