Downey High School

I am 34 years old married with a family of 7. I have always been a people pleaser, I am a very happy energetic caring person. What attracted me to this job is my mother in law being Diagnosed with ALS, she was given 6 months to live she lived for 8. I provider all her needs. 24/7. What i enjoy the most is putting a smile on someone face making their day that much brighter being in their presence. I have done all my work in the past all had to do with customer service my true gift is dealing with people, making a person happy and feel better does something to my spirit. I have always been successful. I am certified through IHSS, stanislaus.

I am a honest, compassionate caring lovable person I am in the healthcare because I love caring for people that was my compassion growing up as a child.

My passion as a caregiver started out by simply caring for the two most of the most important people in my life. M passion for caring for people goes beyond what words can express. my favorite thing about being a caregiver is learning about my clients/patients/residents life achievements and what their goals are now. My mission will be simply to go above and beyond the care your loved one needs. caregiving is more than companionship its about becoming a team to fulfill your loved ones needs.

I became a caregiver while attending nursing school, i originally wanted to become a architect but once my brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia, i changed my major to RN/ Clinical Psychology. I feel that i am a great caregiver because i do this because i like it. Working in the medical field and helping people is something i truly am passionate about. I enjoy helping people that are not fully capable of taking care of themselves. It can mean to motivate someone and helping them be independent once again or if someone is fully disabled physically to help them so that they wont disable themselves mentally and still continue to live the rest of their lives. I am 22 years old, i do not have 30 years of experience but i have heart and dedication. During high school i was captain of an 80 girl track team. There i learned punctuality, responsibility, determination and discipline.

My resume shows my on the paper work experience. However in my life I have had lots of experience with elderly and disabled caregiving. My grandmother had a in home rehabilitation program ran out of our home. I have taken care of patients that were sent to us to pass on in a peaceful and nuturing environment as well as patients that required long term care. I took care of a man who was paraplegic and was completely paralyzed from the kneck down for more then 10 years. I have a huge heart for this kind of work because to me it is so much more then caregiving it is who I am and what I have always loved doing. I was my mother's caregiver before she passed away last year. She suffered from MS , indocardonitous, a stroke that left her with numerous amounts of leasions on her brain causing her to need full time care. My father has been diagnosed with being biopoler and has agressive tendencies. I have a life times worth of experience dealing with the mentally challenged. I have worked closely with WATCH and Sierra Vista as well as SBHS. So I can pretty much handle any situation and almost all in home care needs. My best attributes is my integrity and loyalty.

I am a compassionate, loving, kind person, who enjoys helping those in need which also make me understanding with individuals who need my help. I was introduced to Caregiving in 2013 at the time I was 19 when I saw what my duties were I was a little afraid due to never having prior experience but I got to work with individuals who had Developmental Disabilities and it grew to love every single part of it. Their love towards you makes you feel full and content with what you do for them everyday.. I enjoy helping elderly or simply disabled people because their gratification is amazing. They grow to love, confine, trust you and viceversa. I wouldn't change anything. A personal achievements I am proud of is I learned how to be more patient, understanding, also giving back what one day I will need as I grow older.

I had the honor of providing care to a 7 year old boy who had CP, I realized how easily I made a connection and trust with him. He passed away 3 days before what would have been his 10 birthday, I knew at that moment being a professional caregiver was my true calling. I love the fact that I alone can have such a positive impact on people life's even when they are at their lowest point in life with health and circumstances, I still have the ability and desire to put a smile on their faces and hear them laugh. I love that at times all I have to do is be an ear for them to speak to or a hand to hold and something so small and free can brighten someones day, which in turn brightens mine. I spent three years doing private in home live-in care for an 81 year old man with stage 3 CHF and kidney failure, I also cared for is wife of 80 who has severe alzheimers. I am a 26 year old woman who loves to laugh, sing songs and help those in need. I can take direction or give direction both done with love and kindness. Two things i feel this world needs more of, I am not perfect but, but I am who I am and I try everyday to be the best I can not just for myself but for those around me, because I enjoy my career I am a hard worker and I am dependable.

Worked at a day program for adult with disabilities and loved it. Love that I can positively assist is allowing them to live a normal life . Have Dsp 1 certification. First aid and CPR Have worked in this field for more than 10 years.

I am responsible,honest,great with people, animals. I listen to peoples needs and try to do what i can to make there lives easier. My goal as being a caregiver is to get them back on there feet rehabilitation.
