About Bridget

In March 2016 I was asked by a family friend if I wanted a job as a caregiver. My response was I wasn't sure because I had never done it before. After a couple days of thinking about it I decided I would give it a try. For the most part I enjoyed it, the lady I cared for showed me many pictures, shared old stories, and just made my heart so full. We had some hard times but we got through them. The hardest part of the job is that she had Alzheimer's and slight dementia. But you had to just be nice and everything would work out. I cleaned, cooked, did the laundry helped her to and from her chair and the bathroom and made sure she had a good laugh every now and then. In June 2016 she got ill and had to got to the hospital we found out she had a stroke and a uti so her daughters decided to put her in a nursing home. Leaving us caregivers without a job. In June I found a company called quality care and they gave me a lady who pretty much did everything for herself. She made me do all the handy work plus keep the kitchen and house cleaned. I ended up having to goto the hospital so they found her a new provider

    I became a caregiver due to i love supporting others in need. I am compassionate. I am always open minded to learn different skills to maintain great quality of care and I have patience. What I like about being a caregiver is meeting new people to help them through their time of need. My personality fits the job description of being a caregiver due to understanding and going beyond to make a person happy. My personal achievement that I am proud of is continuing education in psychology. I have completed a cna program. I am also proud everyday as I work in this career field of how the patient and family feels before and after they give me the opportunity to help them. I am an outgoing person who is very gentle and reliable. I complete tasks properly and in a timely manner. I am respectful and trustworthy. I am highly dedicated to my career.
