Arizona State University

For the past five years I have had the privilege of of caring for individuals of all ages. I truly enjoyed this opportunity because of all the knowledge I feel I have gained not only from the experience but from the people I have met and cared for as well. From personal hygiene to companionship, I have done it all. I try to encourage and motivate all seniors in ways I see fit for their personal health and wellbeing, from independence to comfort care, I am here to help and happy to do so.

I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. I take pride in attention to detail. I like being physical in my job and using my body as well as my brain. I enjoy working with people in a home care setting, As a caregiver I feel the desire to want to help. I show both empathy and compassion to others. I will let the person I am for caring know that they cared about. I want to do what they can to help them be successful in their everyday activities. As a caregiver you have a vital role to play in the life of another person. It requires dedication, compassion, stamina and hard work. Despite the challenges the rewards are unsurpassable. Let me welcome the opportunity to become a intricate part of your live ones life.

I have experience working with seniors and truly enjoy doing so. I'm glad to be able to lend a hand with everyday tasks and meet wonderful people in the process.

Currently, I am enrolled in an accelerated nursing program at Roseman University of Health Sciences. I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant throughout Arizona from hospitals and clinical settings to nursing homes, assisted living and home health. I truly have a passion for caring for others and making a difference. I love learning and getting know new people as well as finding at least one thing to make someone who is not feeling so great feel better. School has not always been easy for me because of how expensive it is to go. I worked and went to school full-time throughout my first degree. I am most proud of overcoming my fear of going back to school and pursuing my nursing degree that I will finish by October 2015. Something about me is that I was born and raised in Arizona and I am the youngest of 4 and the only girl. I played banked-track roller derby for Arizona and was awarded Most Valuable Player for 2 games in a row last year.

At age 52 after seeing how much help, compassion and empathy my parents needed in their later life, I decided to be a caregiver. I have enjoyed listening to clients reminiscing about their past wonderful life. I am ready to sympathize with them when they need someone to show empathy. I am ready to assist them achieve their activities of daily living like meal prep and eating, tooth brushing, bathing, and making sure they live in a clean and safe environment in their own homes. I can live in their homes and look after them, or spend hours with them, I can drive them to their doctor's appointments, hair salon and even to holidays if they require me to. I have been a CNA since I immigrated to the USA. During my first 10 years here, I worked as a CNA during the night and went to college during the day, took lots of classes, and finally graduated in Business Administration. I got a job in a county state office up North but I quit and returned to Nursing Assisting. I was married for 45 years, and divorced. I have 5 children and 15 grandchildren. I love assisting the elderly in their homes. Working with the elderly gives me such satisfaction in knowing what to expect sooner than later in life. I hope to live a healthy, happy, long life like some of my wonderful clients.

I am very reliable, and tentative when help is needed, I will be there to assist in every way possible. Available Saturdays only.

I've been working with seniors since my college days in the early nineties as an intern, volunteer and a business owner. I am compassionate, trustworthy, respectful and dependable. I enjoy work that involves helping people improve their lives. I particularly like working with seniors because they remind me of my grandmother who I was close to. Older people have amazing life experiences to share and they need assistance from someone they can trust. I am proud of my degree in Social Work and my family.

My name is Lisa and I am extremely passionate about caring for and assisting individuals who cannot properly care for themselves, produce the best possible quality of life. I spent 10 years working in 2 different hospitals, caring for patients in a wide array of medical situations including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, quadriplegia/paralysis, stroke, hospice, and more. In addition, I spent more than 6 months providing home care to several patients, including a wonderful gentleman with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), who ended up becoming one of my best friends until the day he passed away. Beyond providing medical care to individuals with life-threatening or detrimental illnesses/handicaps, my heart really lies in making a deep connection with each person I come in contact with. People are scared when they're sick or not feeling well. I also understand that bringing a new caregiver into the home to care for your loved one, can cause a bit of fear or anxiety. Of course, everyone wants their loved one to receive the best possible care, and I will always go out of my way to make sure my patients are the #1 priority under my care. I promised myself to treat every single patient as if they were my family, my grandmother, grandfather, etc no matter how busy or hectic the hospital was. My patients always receive the same tender loving, unconditional compassion and attention that I would give to any of my family members, or even myself. Lastly, I believe in maintaining consistent and thorough communication with my patient's family members. Your needs are my concerns and your specific instructions are my priority. I will always make decisions that are in the best interest of my patients, however, the family knows their loved one the best, and I respect very much.

As a mother of five children and one grandchild- family is very important to me. Likewise- their health. Nurture is to nature as nature is to nurture- and I guess I am a fan of them both. The cycle of life is a beautiful one, and I aim to be a positive force in the life of everyone I encounter. I love to meet new people and value their thoughts and opinions. I went to school for Respiratory Therapy because I wanted to help people with breathing problems- my mother passed from both lung cancer and COPD. The program was very informative, and the clinical- profound, but I had to leave the program to take on another job once my niece came to live with me after her mother's health declined. The compassion I have to help others has never left. I worked as a caregiver for a company in California for two years and also for a private family. Taking care of a loved one can be very difficult, especially when one must juggle a career and children's activities as well. I know it's hard to manage your time under the circumstances, but this is where I come in. Realizing you need help, is the first step to getting it. I'm ready to help your loved one reach and maintain their potential physically, and emotionally. I am an honest, caring, trustworthy, funny (at least I think so), empathetic, and understanding caregiver, ready to assist in your time of need. I've worked with seniors who've had problems with dementia, mobility issues, MS, diabetes, high blood pressure, post-operative surgery, stroke victims, and more. I aim to give my clients the best in quality care.

I am new to caregiving, but have found great pleasure in it. The current pandemic gave me an opportunity to come off the road and assist my parents during this difficult time. My years in retail have made me a terrific multitasker, a patient person, and has given me the ability to blend well with multiple personality types. I'm looking for at least 20 hours a week.

Friendly and energetic individual, experienced in housekeeping as opened my own business to do so, I was also taking care of my grandmother and one of my friends grandparents by cleaning and cooking and also for transportation.

I genuinely love taking care of others and treat all my clients as if they were my own family. Everyone deserves the absolute best care possible and I strive for just that. I have a degree in microbiology and maintaining a healthy environment is of significant priority. I've worked as a patient care technician in a hospital setting for the past decade. I've also had my CNA from the Arizona State Board of Nursing since 2006 and recently renewed as a Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA). I can provide license number upon request. In addition, I also maintain a current Heart Saver's CPR and BLS for healthcare providers certification.

I am a determined and strong willed individual. I was attracted to the field of medical due to a family member of mine having back to back multiple health problems until he unfortunately passed away before I finished my CNA schooling. His unfortunate health history from the time I was a little girl opened my eyes to medicine and helping not only sick but families as well. My goal is to make my patients feel as independent as they can be/allowed, letting them know there are still kind-hearted young people in the world and also making the family feel comfortable and safe knowing their loved one is in safe hands. I'm personally proud of having the gift to help those in need and knowing from such a young age. I am going to continue my education in the future and become a RN.

Hello, I'm Serenity Valeri, and I'm thrilled to share my unique journey with you. With a diverse background spanning from my previous role as a security engineer to my current endeavors as a Hospice Reiki Practitioner and Death Doula, I've truly found my calling in positively impacting people's lives.

At first when I became a caregiver I was unemployed and at the time I took the job, now it's been 6 years and it is very rewarding. I find satisfaction in helping those that cannot do for themselves. It's a personal achievement to consistently be there for others. I enjoy kayaking, swimming, visiting with my daughter, and travel to see my sister and mother in Tucson.

Hello, my name is Misty and I am a forty seven year mother of four. I suppose that is where my love of taking care of people began, raising my amazing children. I was lucky enough to get to stay home with them all, it was a gift I'll always treasure. From there I had the chance to take care of my husband's grandmother for an extended period of time. That experience touched my heart, and when I was able to go and care for my 95 year old grandmother recently I knew that I wanted to do the same for others. I truly have a heart for this work, and bringing Joy and comfort to people is a blessing to me as much as it is for them.

Im an extremely loving and compassionate person. I love to help people and just be there for others in need. Especially with my grandmother seeing her smile or light up just having that companionship made everything worth it, even on the worst days. I'm in my late twenties, 100% dependable and reliable, have my own transportation and will never leave you hanging. I'm a friendly, outgoing individual full of love and support to give to those who might be in need of assistance or just a companion. Am comfortable with open mental disabilities , Alzheimer's/dementia , post surgery care , wounds, baithing,feeding , transferring, physical activity and am willing to talk about anything you may need !

I am a mature, happy, fun, caring, patient and understanding caregiver who loves to laugh! I began caregiving back in 2012 when a good friend of mine was in an auto accident. I helped him recover and realized I enjoyed the job, so I started helping others full-time. I am outgoing, clean, organized and love to meet new people! I have a level one fingerprint clearance card and I am CPR certified.
