Stroke Caregivers in Cherry Valley - 30 caregivers found

I've been a caregiver for almost 4 years. It's something that I enjoy. I love taken care of others and those who need help with anything from a simple conversation to something more big.

I became a caregiver at 15/16. My entire family works in the healthcare field. I'm a very kind and hard driving person. My grandmother and grandfather both passing in the same year is what drove me to become a caregiver. My achievement right now is going to school to become an lpn. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is learning new things and being able to learn about my residents pasts.

My abilities and interests in becoming a care giver were fostered during my young teenager years. An immediate family member of mine has experienced many health issues, some of which were life changing medical emergencies. At a very young age I became a caregiver to this family member, which included providing direct daily care, feeding, ambulating, and educating them on their health journey. Along with experience caring for other family members with various conditions, I am also currently enrolled in a 2-year, RN Nursing Program at SUNY Morrisville; which is my proudest achievement so far! Nursing school has provided me with a further understanding of medical knowledge, disease processes, patient centered care abilities, and hands on learning (includes In-Patient clinical rotations). Because of this I am continuously able to add to my list of experience with various health conditions, some including: Alzheimer's, Dementia, Cerebral Palsy, Lesch Nyhan Syndrome, Autism Syndrome, Diabetes, Stroke, Heart Attack, Depression, Anxiety, Ostomy Bags, and more. I am a very organized and detail-oriented person, I enjoy keeping a schedule and planning in advance as much as possible. I have always been described as mature, professional, and approachable. I truly enjoy caring for people, and I work hard to ensure individuals feel comfortable with their care. Nothing is more rewarding to me than making positive impacts on those around me!

Hi I am a 42 year old single mom who loves to take care of people. I have over 20 years experience taking care of people.

I took care of both of my grandparents before they passed away. I've always working in healthcare.

My name is Lindsey and I have been a CNA for 2 years in a nursing home setting, I love my residents and I love my job I am just looking for a change since I have worked in the same facility for almost 4 years now. I have always loved taking care of people ever since I could remember. I love the connections I have built with the people I have been taking care of. I always say my residents are like family and I take care of them as I would want my family to be taken care of.

I have always wanted to be a caregiver as far as I can remember. Even though I have had many careers nothing has been more rewarding! I have done 15 years of caregiving as a PCA , CNA and HHA in hospitals, nursing homes and private duty including family and friends and specialized in dementia and cancer. I have never felt more rewarded after a days work than making someone else's life a little more enjoyable happier or easier to live. I truly enjoy helping others in their everyday needs!

I currently work as a direct support professional at Saratoga Bridges. I find this job very rewarding and touching. I feel that those with disabilities have the biggest hearts and offer the greatest learning opportunities. Many.people are quick to judge these people instead of taking the chance to really get to know them. I think they would offer you the world if they had it to give. I enjoy watching them grow and helping them in the areas in which they may struggle. I enjoy joy helping others and have a big heart. I have always been one to help those who need it. I am currently going to school to become an RN and eventually want to work with children with cancer at St. Judes.

I have been a caregiver for many years. I worked at Pathfinder Village for 6 years taking care of people with mentally disabled needs. I used to cook, clean, shop, bring them to drs appointments, bath them if they needed help, do fun activities with them. I am med cert, CPR certified, Scip trained, gait belt and hoyer trained, CNA experience.

I believe a caregiver should be someone that the patient can trust undoubtedly, and be able to bond with. After all we spend so much time with someone in their home everyone needs to be comfortable. I don't just see caring for people as a service but an honor. To be able to get to know someone's life, likes, dislikes and story all make this type of work extremely rewarding. **Will be available full time any hours after May first. Until then times will need to be set up in advance. My other job is 2-10 pm.
