Hi my name is Kelly Leavens , I've worked for five years as a CN at Hanford nursing I loved it but the hours I worked I never seen my girls . I started working for Shelly Baird as a CNA in the nurses office were I did daily tasks that was needed , 4 years into this the state changed to were it had to be a LVN , so I was placed in a classroom as a instructional aide , I didn't renew my CNA license since I didn't need it for this job . I've worked at Shelly Baird for 14 years , working with numerous disorders , I have worked with the severely disabled through this time . One of my Students I would care for in her home for 4 years . She started hospice 2 years ago and I put in my noticed at Shelly Baird so I could take care of her full time . She recently passed and so I'm looking to use my skills , I've cooked , cleaned , given meds , changed g tubes , used oxygen she was very fragile , now that she's gone and taken a peice of my heart I need to keep busy , I don't drink or smoke and put my heart into my work , my children are grown and I have reliable transportation and I am available at any time for emergencies as well thank you !!

I love this job cause of the needed help I bring. I've never been lazy and don't mind hard work.

I became a caregiver because I was a housekeeper at the job Hanford nursing and rehabilitation center tthat I currently am working for now and as I would be cleaning residents rooms they always would ask for help. My having no experience I wasn't able to help lay elders down or do other things they asked so it would break my heart so I decided to go to school and the day I graduated and started as a Cna mmy life changed and so did the elders I love my job and what I do. I love seeing the smile on the residents that I take care of I am able to help them in any way I can. My personal achievement is graduating from Cna school and being able to do what I know love on a daily basis. I am 29 yes old and love working with and for people I am a sweet young lady and work hard as I can for my 5 children.

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others, putting a smile on their faces and being able to give them a reason to look forward to things life has to bring. My favorite thing about being a Caregiver is growing a Bond with a person and becoming some they Trust.

I have two teenage sons and by far being a mom is the most fulfilling part of my life. The best Jobs I have had the privilege of doing was caring for people. I look for ways to make a positive difference in someone's life on a daily basis. There is no better feeling than knowing I am helping someone have a meaningful happy life. I was born in Hanford Ca but moved to Jacksonville FL in 2005. I am now back home all these years later excited for a fresh start with my boys!

I BECAME A CAREGIVER BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TAKING CARE OF SOMEBODY. IT WARMS MY HEART TO BRING A SMILE TO THERE FACES. I LOVE BEING A CAREGIVER AND GIVES ME A CHANCE TO HELP IN THE COMMUNITY AND OTHERS. I TOOK A CERTIFIED NURSE ASSISTANT COURSE AND PASSED STATE TESTING. I'M ALSO A MEDICAL ASSISTANT WITH FOUR CERTIFICATES. I HAVE MY BLS CPR CARD. I'M A BIG HEARTED,HARD WORKING,VERY LOVING MOTHER OF ONE JUST TRYING TO WORK AND SUPPORT MY FAMILY.

I am a calm person, and a good listener. I enjoy hearing the stories that a client would like to tell. I have been a natural caregiver and have taken care of both parents, three aunts, a sister, several friends and clients. I enjoy caregiving because it allows time to get to know people and better assess their needs both physically and emotionally.
