About Stephanie

what makes me a caregiver is the simple fact that I love what I do. I take care of my patients like I would my own grandmother/grandfather, aunt/uncle & so on . I became a caregiver at first so that I could help support my family, I ended up loving what I do and would not choose any other profession. I love the elderly, I get very attatched for what I think because I feel compassion for them and I would hope that one day when I am in their shoes, I hope someone will take care of me the way I do for my patients. What I love about being a caregiver is that I get to know my people on a one-on-one basis, I get to hear their stories whether they be good or bad and get to see a little glimpse of what it was like to be in their shoes. A personal achievement I am proud of is that even though I have children I feel being a caregiver is something GOD has given me the ability to do so that I can be there for your loved ones when you are not able, so that they don't have to feel alone and so that they know they will always have a friend in me who genuinely cares for them and who would go above and beyond to give them the best loving care. so I know that if I didn't do anything else right in life I know that I did my best to take care of your loved ones.

My shift was from 6am-10pm, so I would get to work and start by getting my residents dressed and faces/teeth clean and ready for breakfast and I would help serve and feed residents who were not able to do so on their own. I would then get my residents who were on dyalisis ready to go . I would also get ice water and snacks passed . answer call lights, change briefs every 2 hours or as needed and toilet anyone who needed help or reminding. I also would take my residents to and from physical thereapy and help do my ladies hair and nails, also shave my men, clip nail as long as theyre not diabetcs. (nurses do diabetics nail clipping & shaving) I would aslo give showers, lay them down for naps, get them up again for lunch and dinner and when I came time for bed I would help with denture care once more and put them in their nightiesand in to bed and if I stayed and worked over night I would help and turn them every 2 hours or as needed and help with applying lastiseptic on their bottoms, it helps so they don't get bed sores.
