I am a caregiver by nature, and I do work weekends now taking care of a lady in Point Pleasant. She is 94. I have a home in Greenup, KY that I'm selling, so living w my sister at this time til house sells. My whole week is free tho for another job. Weekends could be freed up too at any time. I have always been the nominated and gladly accepted caregiver in our family. From Mom and Dad w dimentia, renal transplant, dialysis travel, BS checks, and glucose as well, dressings, bathing, turning and bathing in bed, incontinence, assessment keen if any changes, dr appointments when they were able to go. 24/7 duties in my home, not at the same time. When they passed, it was what I felt I was comfortable with, so I began to apply to help other families and read up and listen for details to watch for signs , if any, of changes. I can roll, reposition, help w bedpan, and bathe in bed any patient . I love to see those smiles of thanking me when they really dont even speak much or listen and talk w our seniors and those w chronic illnesses. I was very good at dressing changes, helping to heal wounds, and keep ulcers off bony prominences, etc. Helping others comes natural to me . I think I try to be exactly what they need. The feeling of helping someone feel better is very rewarding !
