Stroke Caregivers in Ganado - 23 caregivers found

Caregiving made an impact in my life when my Uncle and Great Grandmother needed help in the last phase of their life. Both at different times came to stay at my home as I tended to their daily needs until passed. Seeing the happiness a little help from a smiling face brought them is something that brings tears to my eyes to this very day. I am a mother to a 5 year old special needs daughter as well. Her daily needs must be met in a more specific way than others. From a very young age caring for those around me has always been a part of my life, and I'd like to make a difference in your daily life as well.

I am a Certified Nursing Aid with over 20 years of experience. I truly do enjoy helping others whether a person needs minimum or maximum assistance. I love to talk , laugh and do my best to encourage a resident whenever they might be feeling disappointed or discouraged because I definitely do understand. Certified in First Aid and CPR. My experience includes tasks of bathing, assist with toileting, lifting, wheelchair transfers, G- tube feedings, grooming, oral and personal hygiene care, dispensing meds, cooking, cleaning, patient care needed if bedridden, companion or hospice. Also, experience with Dementia and Alzheimer patients.

I'm caring and supportive and outgoing when it comes to resident health. I strive to improve my work ethic and am excited to work with people.

I've always been told that I smile too much. I'm really proud that I smile too much because it brightens up my patients day. Sometimes they need to see a smile to know everything is going to be ok. I love being a caregiver because I get to help someone. it brings me joy to know that I'm helping someone who appreciates it. Working in both hospitals and nursing centers has shown me two different worlds to healthcare. I have really learned a lot from both. I've learned to noticed signs a lot sooner when something is going on with a patient/resident. I've learned to read people a lot faster on who they are or how they like things done. It really does make a difference when you know what to look for. That's why I wanted to be a caregiver and eventually make my way to becoming a Registered Nurse.
