Stroke Caregivers in Government Camp - 13 caregivers found

I love to be able to make a difference in peoples life. I love to be able to talk and help someone who is in need of it even when there not. Life is about compassion and vulnerability and I'm always here to help.

Caring for others and their well being is a passion of mine. I have been in the medical field in some fashion for the past 40 years. I have extensive knowledge and experience with the in home care arena. My charge has included children with special needs, adults and seniors with varying medical complications. Trustworthy, reliability, and respectful are qualities of mine. I also possess the gifts of compassion, mercy and empathy; and have extensive experience in hospice care as well. Additional experience includes PT< OT<ST<RT.

In 2014 I started caregiving. It wasn't something I planned on doing or dreamed about. I was in need of a job and a friend introduced me to the position. I have loved it ever since. I love getting to know people and their life experiences. Everyday is something new. All the different care plans and people are exiting to me. This helps me learn something new regularly and keep things from being mundane.

My kids are in college or have graduated college. I have spent most of my life taking care of elderly and my family. I went to PSU and later transferred to Bassist design. I should have gone into nursing, I have always had compassion for people and people in need of assistance. Before I got married, I lived with an elderly couple in Lake Oswego, that happened to be my Great Uncle Clarence and Great Aunt Ada whom needed assistance with cooking, cleaning, shopping and transferring. Aunt Ada had a stroke, so I was there for support with transfers, standby showers and pretty much anything she might need- Medication reminders , help painting her fingernails and helping her with her hair. I met my husband at PSU, we got married and had 5 amazing kids. I have spent my life during marriage raising our kids and taking care of my mother whom had a stroke at 65 and was in an assisted care home. I would go 3-4 times a week and help her with her occupational and physical therapy exercises, as well as taking her shopping and helping her with what she needed. My mom passed away almost 2 years ago Jan. The last 5 years I tag teamed with my Nana who was in her 90's and helped her with everything she needed. Trips to the store, cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking , doctors appointments etc. My Nana lived to be almost 104. Her last few years of her life she had dementia, which I learned so much about during those years. How you join "their world"and don't argue something, you know, to not be true, unless it's harmful to them. It's a very trying time having your loved one slip away into "their land"and they might seem like they do not know who you are, it's really much harder on the family than the patient. I look forward to helping your loved one thru patience, compassion, understanding, helping them with all their needs, giving them the feeling of independence in their own home.

Hi I am Heather I recently returned back to my favorite career. I took a break to start my farm and it is going very well. I raise AGH pigs along with chicken of various breeds.

I became a caregiver simply because I love to help people! I love building long term relationships and companionships.

I was a certified nursing assistant and certified medication aid for many years when I was younger. I eventually went back to college and received a degree in social science but miss the interaction I had with the people that I cared for. I like to see the smile on peoples faces, the stories and know that I am helping someone to have a better day. I am skilled at dementia care, was nurse delegated to assist clients with medication oral and topical, stoma care, foot care, bathing and skin care. I am looking for part time evening and one weekend day shifts/work. I would like to find one family that needs ongoing care a few hours a week.

I love being a CNA! I was put on this planet to help people in any and every way I possibly can. I have experience working with residents in a memory care facility with all levels of care; bathing, dressing, feeding, lifting, transferring, and all other activities of daily living. I am CPR/BLS and basic first aid certified, as well as trained in mental health and dementia. I'm here ready to help!

I've been in the healthcare field for about 16 years. I have experience with elder care and DD care. I have managed group homes and started my own in home care agency. I am very passionate about what I do as I feel I was put here on earth to make a positive impact for those I serve and care for. I feel that if I can somehow make someones life more enjoyable or bring a higher level to their quality of life then I have done my job. These are our parents, grandparents, friends and family who need quality care and I know when I am with them, they are receiving genuine love and care. It brings me joy to the positive impact I make in their lives.
