About Kaitlynn

I have a huge heart, I love every single one of my patients. I never thought I would become a caregiver but then when I started working at timber rock house I fell in love with my job. I'm very driven, I'm a very hard worker and I'm very responsible and trust worthy. Being a caregiver has given me the gift of watching blessing happen right before my eyes. I've created bonds with every one of my patients. I'm very close to one of my patients who has alzhiemers, she is basically a grandmother to me. I have learned in this line of work how to care for them for their physical needs but also their mental needs. I love my job and I want to continue in this field.

Experience & Education

Caregiver

Debbie Corkin
I work for a small private assisted living home. We have 6 residents all with different needs. I have learned and studied each resident and what their capabilities are what their needs are. We have dementia and Alzheimer's patients all in different stages. Some residents need more care than others. I have created a bond with each resident and a trust as well. They trust me because they know I take exceptional care of them. Our jobs as caregivers are to help them get dressed, help them go to the restroom, help them shower. Prepare meals and if needed assist them with eating. Administer medications and make sure that every resident recieves the medicines that their doctor has prescribed. We do different activities with them and do daily exercise. All of our patients are religious so we read different religious stories in the mornings. We work with them on exercises that our physical therapist have assigned to each patient based on their needs. My job and goal is to keep them happy, healthy and safe.

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is because I am patient, compassionate, reliable, honest and I have some experience. I did not know about care giving until I came to this Nation and my family members introduced me to it and after doing it for a few months I started to enjoy taking care of people in need and I have been doing it ever since. What I like most about being a caregiver is when am taking care of a patient and am able to help them do what they could not do by themselves and see the face brighten and smile. My personal achievement that am proud of is handling a combative patient make them calm and they accept care, take their medications and meals.
