My primary concern as a caregiver is to make sure that my client is able to function at the best of their ability and to make sure that they are having the highest quality of life that they are able to have. I am not only there for my client but I am also there for the family (such as: to let them go grocery shopping, are just to be another set of ears at doctor appointments or for the family. After a few days with the client and the family I begin to consider them family. I have a great amount of nurturing and empathy, some say I care to much but I give 150% to my clients and families. I enjoy order and dispensing medication, relating to my clients, enjoy the pass and working on family history. I have no parents or grandparents so my clients kind of fill these roles. I have been a first responder, EMT, CPR Instructor, nurse's aide, and medication aide. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is having a D.N.S. that I work with for a long time trust me to teach new nurse's the medication routine and to be a charge nurse. As a personal care giver the highest praise I can be given is for my client to tell me I must be an angel and that they love me.

Hello all, I am a 35 and expecting my first child in March 2018. I have been a foster parent for 6 years. I've fostered infants, school age children, and teenagers. I am currently engaged to my high school sweetheart whom I've been in a relationship with for over 17 years. I am a very warm hearted and lovable person who often thinks of others before myself. At the age of 8 my mother passed. My father was a musician who played on the road. I lived between my two grandparents home. I helped my grandparents with their daily needs such as transportation to and from appointments and grocery shopping. This attracted me to being a caregiver. I had gained skills from them with medication taking, paying bills, hygiene assistance, daily living, and companionship. I cooked daily and meal prepped. As my grandparents got older and lost most of their mobility and decision making I became the spokesperson for them. I enjoy being a person that someone can count on and call when needed. I am ear to listen and eyes to see. I have an old sole and love when others are happy and full of life. I am proud that I can be someone that someone else can call on when needed. I'm always willing to give and learn more. I became a care provider in 2007. I have worked for a treatment center servings women and their children. Some of my skills iinclude: Attention to personal care, medication administration and monorting, meal prep and showing my client how to cook meals and choose healthier foods, assisted with scheduling appointments and transportation , helped client maintain general household cleaning and laundry. I am certified with the State of Oregon #640215. Independent NW #575139-787877. Disability Care. Food handlers #2017o1941196 Due to the lack of childcare for my foster child I am limited the hours I'd like to help you. I am available between the hours of 5am until 1pm and 7pm until 7am. Thank you for your interest in me as a caregiver.
