Tracheotomy / Ventilation Caregivers in Touchet - 2 caregivers found

I have been in the healthcare field for 30 plus years and I love it! I have worked with a variety of individuals from young to old with Downs, ALS, Dementia, Special needs. I have also worked for the KSD and in family homes and facilities. I have CPR/First aid/fundamentals in caregiving/food handlers/various certs in continuing education. I love learning from my friends I work with at the same time I'm helping them! I also just Graduated Charter College with my Medical Assistant Certification and im doing online classes for my AA in Allied Health.

The health care field became a calling to me, when I became unhappy with the manner in which my father was being cared. I saw that most were not willing travel, as well. I was slowly able to get trained while still assisting with his care. I can empathize with patients and their families because I have been on both sides. When working with a patient, that patient is not just a number - and I will do whatever I can to help. Quite often, I am called into situations where a nurse/caregiver/health aide, etc. Has quit, did not show or had an emergency of some sort. This gives families flexibility. I want to help as much as I possibly can, in order to assist with the patient feeling as well as possible as well as the family. This includes asssisting on trips. This way the family can enjoy their time together. I also assist pre and post op, with patients, so they can get home as soon as they are ready. I have also worked with patients loved ones who need someone to stay with their spouse or relative who may be incapacitated by Alzheimers, Parkinson's disease, and many other diseases. My goal is to work with everyone.
