I'm a real lax, go with the flow caregiver. I'm currently in nursing school, so and I've already had previous years of experience while working as a CNA in a SNF and hospital. I enjoy the pride I get from being able to handle the care of someone. The growth and experience is a plus as well. My healthcare licenses and degree.

I have always had a sweet spot for being a caregiver, people have always told me that I am easy to talk to and have a big heart. I have over 7 years of experience taking care of my an elderly lady who unfortunately suffered from a stroke at the age of 88 leaving the left side of her body paralyzed. I would wake her up in the morning, take her to the bathroom, do her hair & makeup, make her breakfast and was also there as her companion. I'd paint her nails, do crossword puzzles with her, take her for walks (in her wheelchair) & sing! I am now married with 3 boys so I'm looking for something part time, maybe working 3 days a week. It takes a certain type of person who has the patience and love to be a care taker, I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy doing this and you would not be disappointed with me!

Ive been working as a CNA since I was 18yrs old with a total of 10 years experience. I got into nursing through my mother, who would talk about her experiences as a nurse. Ive loved it ever since. Most of my experience is working with skilled and non-skilled patients in nursing homes and the last 3 years doing in home care and a little bit of hospital experience through one of my previous registry companies. I served in the US Navy for 2 years and recieved a honorable discharge for an injury. After that, I worked security for banner and attended collage for a while only to miss nursing, so i returned to it. I got into home care because it allows me to focus on one individual, rather than 16, allowing me to actually get to know the person. Professionally I tend to be a straight forward kind of person who loves his job and working with others that are hard workers and caring. I dont like to beat around the bush or sugar coat things to much. I try to "keep it real" (i hate using that phrase) and honest with my patients. I also try to make the best of any situation, whether thats for myself or for my patients. Mental health is just as important as ones physical health and thats always something i try to pass onto my patients.

Hi! My name is Melissa, I began working at a retirement home 3 years ago as a server. That was my first job ever and I really enjoyed working in the geriatric community and being with all of the residents I worked with. On my days off I would often go in to volunteer with the activities director and I would play bingo with the residents and read to them. As time passed by I realized I wanted to do something more that would allow me to spend more time with the residents and that's when I decided to get my caregiver certification and I started working at the company as a caregiver. I enjoyed every second of it, being with the residents and knowing I was able to help them and make their day at least a little bit better was something that made me feel so good about myself. I consider myself a very caring and compassionate person. I enjoy being a caregiver because I like helping other people and I wouldn't be able to see myself doing anything other than this.

Some of my personality traits that I believe make me a great caregiver are patience and compassion. What attracted me to want to be a caregiver is getting to build new friendships. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to make others laugh and smile. A personal achievement I am proud of is a leadership award from my school.

I love people also helping them. I'm a natural caring person, I tend to care more about other than myself.

Nursing Assistants Are All Heart Currently, I work as a CNA, licensed through the Arizona Board of Nursing since 2011. I work as an independent contractor in the West Phoenix area caring for the healthcare needs of the elderly and disabled. Services provided vary according to the level of healthcare the individual needs. I am skillled in personal care, mobility management, memory care, and hospice. My mission is to provide compassionate, highly skilled nursing care while focusing on patient safety, and promoting an atmosphere of dignity and healing. I originally chose to train as a CNA in order to enter the healthcare field as I intended to continue my education to eventually become a Nurse Practitioner. Throughout my college career I have maintained a 4.0 GPA with honors. I chose this field because it is my passion in life and my God given gift to care for others. I take pride in what I do and the people I do it for. Someday, I will take my skills and my heart to the mission field.

Love helping others. I strive to help others succeed being doubted or told you can't do anything is false. I love the challenge of being told I can't, can't is not a word in my vocabulary. Personal achievement I saved a life in prison, and his family was greatful for me.

I am a great care giver because I care for people how I would want to be cared for and I have high standards on what I think great care should consist of. I enjoy working hard for others. And I like things clean and in working order.

I am a caring, loving, and an outgoing person. I would like to go into the medical field so this job would be a great opportunity.

What makes me a great caregiver is that no matter what I care and I will be there. I am compassionate in my job and I love what I do, and I can handle situations that require emergency decisions. I enjoy most about my job is the bond created. In this field having a bond with the patient makes my job easier, there is a foundation of trust. Also a personal achievement I have is when one of my clients was showing signs of pneumonia, I was able to recognize the signs and symptoms for her to get treated.

I love people, and I like taking care of people, especially the vulnerable. When patients are sick, I think they need special care, compassion and empathy. I learnt to be patient, when my dad fell sick with cancer. We had to take care of him, and through that, I learnt so much. His illness opened my eyes to the world that I really wasn't familiar with. Not to say that I wasn't compassionate then. It taught me that any of us could be on the other side of the bed, and may one day need care. Treating people as I would like to be treated is very key to me. I believe that the energy spills onto the person you are taking care of. I take my job very seriously. It is rewarding to me, and at the end of the day, I go home feeling contented and pleased that I did my very best, and helped make someone else's life a little easier. That is the reason I got into healthcare. To learn about various illness, different aspects related to health, and how our bodies change with time, depending on different circumstances, how to care for someone, should that happen. Working in a hospital for over 9 years has given me a range of experience and knowledge on how to approach diverse health situations.

I am very outgoing and a hard-worker. I put my all into everything. I have met so many loving and caring people while being a caregiver. Hearing about their lives and accomplishments is something I love. I am proud to have met some many wonderful people as being a caregiver.

I pride myself on providing high quality care to those in need. I enjoy helping others. I have provided care for my own family and understand how families can be in need of a qualified aide. It is never easy caring for loved ones alone. I see my clients as family not just a paycheck. I have achieved quality training and in constant pursuit of ongoing education.

My name is Brooklyn. I'm 30 years old and have been in the medical field since I was 19. I love my career as a CNA and at the moment have no desire to become a nurse , but possibly becoming a CNA manager. I see this field becoming only a stepping stone to many and at times not being recognized for the amount of importance this field has and is in need of. I have worked in Assisted living homes to nursing homes and rehabs. The care of my patience is number one. This job has not only provided for my own family, but through building relationships, has taught me so much in life. I have provided care, comfort and time to one who have passed or in the processe of passing and been a help to provide the right care to patients who plan to transition back home while allowing them to maintain as much independence. I am beyond confident with knowing that my position as a CNA is where I want to be with hopes to teach new CNA s the knowledge I have learned so that rather than it being only a stepping stone, it can be acknowledged for the immense importance and be life and career positive learning and changing experience.
