I was a caregiver for an elderly fall risk lady. I kept her in her home until she was 90 years old. I assisted her to the bathroom and with bathing. I took care of small chores around the house including but not limited to laundry, cooking and dishes. I took her to her appointments and made sure she took her medicine I kept her hydrated. I took her outside. I took her for rides. I was her daily companion and friend.

I took care of an Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patient she was bed bound and needed help mobilizing to wheelchair and the shower. She was 100% reliant on me for her care. I prepared her meals and fed her I showered and changed her and administered the medication that was directed to me by her family to be given to her. I engaged her when ever I could.

I recently retired and took on a volunteer job that matches drivers to seniors who need rides to doctors appointments. This was the beginning of my understanding of what a need there is out there for caring services. I gradually found myself taking on temporary care giving jobs. Most of them in a role as a companion, cook and errands. I love all the good feelings I get from my clients and the sense that I am making peoples lives better and more comfortable. Recently I completed the training to be a teacher of "Conscious Aging". I took this training so that I would better understand some of the issues associated with aging in order to help my clients. I am a "young" retiree and most of my clients enjoy the energy and light I bring to my work.

What makes me a great caregiver is that I'm upbeat with energy to dance, walks, parks/gardens or taken in a local concert with active clients. I enjoy watching sports with my clients live or TV, working on puzzles or just have a quiet time looking thru photos, books. I became a caregiver after caring for grandmother, father-in-law, and friend's family members. I enjoy being a caregiver to assist both client and the family with daily chores, making things easier for client, giving the family peace of mind their love one is in the best hands as I would want for my own family. They can spend time with their own family if needed. My personal achievements is having a beautiful smart daughter who has given me 3 beautiful healthy grandchildren that bring joy to my life every time I'm with them. I'm happy with the times I bring joy a family who's love one needs care. Nervous about the future, but soon able to relax and spend memorable times with them, let the caregivers handle the weight.
