About Cheryl

In addition to the referenced professional positions I have held, the follow accomplishments are noteworthy: * I was formerly a foster parent to a teen age girl whom suffered with ED, substance abuse and addiction issues, truancy, and physical abuse as a child. * I have served as a health care-giver for 1.5 years for 2 different Alzheimer's Disorder sufferers and patients. * I successfully completed CPI Non-violent Crisis Intervention Training program (Jan 2018). Prior to relocating to the greater Roanoke, VA area, I worked for Home Sweet Home Care, Inc. caring for an elderly patient who had early stages of dementia. I pride myself in my ability to care for the elderly and for youth with special needs and handicaps. I have experience both with the elderly and I have also served in the public schools with SPED students; one in particular, whom I assisted to/from the wheelchair as needed. I am respectful, loyal, dependable, caring, personable, professional, and knowledgeable. Most Sincerely, Cheryl Bedenbaugh

*Patience. Those who provide home care to others need to be patient. Being patient means that the person understands that there may be changes in plans, things may not go as quickly as planned, and there may be a little hesitation at times on the part of the person receiving care. *Compassion. When someone has compassion for another they have an understanding of what the person is going through. *Attentiveness. It is important when providing home care that the caregiver is attentive to the needs and changes that are taking place. By being attentive, the caregiver, will notice when there are emotional or physical changes in the person he or she is caring for. *Dependability. Those who need home care don't usually just need it sporadically. Rather it is on a regular basis, so it is imperative that a caregiver be dependable and show up to provide the care that the person needs and is counting on. *Trustworthiness. Caregivers are often in a position that will allow them to have access to the belongings of the person they are caring for. It is crucial that the caregiver be someone who is trustworthy and will not breach that trust by taking advantage of the person her or she is caring for.
