I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that I can manage pretty much anything. I'm reliable, responsible and can be trusted to use discretion to make the right decisions, when family isn't available. I try to encourage clients to perform mind-stimulating activities such as reading, playing board games, and posting reminders for important tasks in visible areas. I have created scrapbooks with pictures of the client's family to help the client recognize their family members. I am proud to say that I have emotionally supported my clients, hold their hand and find the right words in moments of difficulty. At the same time, I am able to control my own emotions to ensure they do not increase the anxiety of my clients or their loved ones. What I enjoy most about caregiving is meeting new people and getting to know a little about them. Each one is special in their own way and each one is always a learning experience for me, in my personal life skills.

I'm caring and loving

I have a pleasant personality, I like to make people smile or laugh, because I care. I enjoy helping people to be or do their best. What I enjoy mostly about being a caregiver, is meeting new people and touching someone's live or them touching my live in a positive way. Helping people is me giving back to my community and making this world a better place , when we show love and compassion toward one another.

I am a very patient, humble and honest worker. Am a fast learner and love my work as a certified nursing assistant or CNA. my day is made when I see my clients smiling and happy with the service I provide to them and for them.

I have always been a care giver. Not always in the work field, but even as a child it was in me to care for everything. I always thought it was my duty to care for anyone and everything. Started with animals (some of which didn't need care according to their owners ha) and went to vet assistant. Then to opening a day care and caring for children. After the day care I was a school bus driver. When I could no longer drive a big bus physically I became a CNA and will stay such until my retirement. My heart is to tender to work in big facilities where I observed care takers having to rush to get their work done and to many older folks sitting around with no one to talk to. I knew it wasn't the CNA's fault, but my heart hurt after my internship at a great facility. It was then I knew I could not work for a facility. When I worked for an agency, I saw that they truly didn't care who they placed with who, had policies that limited our ability to actually be a friend to our clients and it was more about the profit than if the workers or clients were happy. So this led me to become a private care giver. I can work cheaper than what someone would pay an agency and there are no rules saying I can't get attached to my client! I truly care, and won't be told not to. I do realize that sometimes chemistry isn't right, but at lease we can discover it rather than just being thrown together and expected to work. I currently have one client and can add one more. I keep my hours limited so my schedule can be easily tailored to yours. I am a respite care giver. Meaning I am a permeant relief caregiver. I will do over nights a couple days a week, and 2- 5 hour shifts during the day. This is all negotiable! I haven't been a paid caregiver for long so couldn't list many years. But my experience is much longer, and my training is fresh and continuing.

African-American 41year-old woman that has a passion for caregiving ever since 2006 have worked for numerous families and different cities in towns experience different cultures and household interactions. Very much a people person and get my job well done people are happy to have me. I've worked for City view assistant living as a Med tech, work on Memory Care floor, work for Stacy's Home care as a caregiver for veterans also.

I enjoy providing quality care to those that need that little bit of extra help. I became a caregiver because I come from a family of caregivers. I have provided care to family members and have worked for an agency in the past.

My name is Ashlee. I have been a CNA for over five years and I absolutely love it. I knew I wanted to care for the elderly at a young age due to the lack of care my great grandma was receiving in a nursing home. I treat each individual as if they were my own family and I know proper care has been given when I am there. I am well organized, have great time management, and a positive attitude. I get to improve a person's quality of life and make a difference everyday. There is no better feeling then helping another.
