About Regina

Hi, This is part of my cover letter that goes with my Resume; it gives you a very good idea of my desire to be a caregiver.......... I am interested in a position as an IP Caregiver. I am resourceful, compassionate, and outgoing. I believe in excellence and have dedicated myself and my talents to be successful in the endeavor of home healthcare. I am an Artist, and began employment as an caregiver to care for my mother who was elderly, disabled, and suffering from chronic illnesses. She did not want to be placed in a nursing home, but needed full-time care. In the course of her care I became knowledgeable and proficient in the use of respiratory equipment and transfer devices. I became adept in skills of observation, documenting physical, behavioral, and medical information, managing and administering medication, and managing appointment and activity schedules. I worked with Doctors and medical staff to coordinate and implement treatment plans. Now, after 8 ½ years of caregiving experience, I am deeply motivated and committed to continue home healthcare for others. I want to provide quality care to clients with a wide range of disabilities, illnesses, special needs, and/or other challenges who want to continue to live in their homes with grace, dignity, and purpose.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy sharing my time with seniors and I really enjoy helping them with their needs. I worked as a CNA for 13 years in a nursing home, until recently I decided to become a private caregiver. I have been working as a private caregiver for 6 years and really enjoy having a flexible schedule. I'm a very responsible, hard-working, compassionate and reliable person. I strongly believe in the golden rules. On a more personal note, the achievement that I'm most proud of is my family. Being a single mother, I raised 4 children of whom I am very proud of. On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, cooking, and reading.
