I currently work part-time for an in-home care company providing care to Seniors and also do respite care for special needs children. I have had additional training for dementia care, I am dependable and responsible, honest and caring, and I have reliable transportation. I enjoy being a caregiver, I like to cook and I love animals, no problem with pets in the home or preparing meals or overnight shifts.

I am an attentive listener, patient, caring, trustworthy, and honest, all of which are qualities that I would look for in someone giving care to myself or a loved one. I am attracted to being a caregiver because as a current nursing student I truly enjoy being able to assist others in a manner that is caring and compassionate.

I wanted to become a nurse to help people. To listen to people and make them feel cared about. While I was taking care of my mother for the last 10 years of her life. Many nurses noticed the care I gave to my mother and told me, "You should be a nurse, you would be a great nurse!" I like seeing the looks on patients faces, when they notice I am really listening to them and I remember how they like their coffee. I excelled in my classes. I was happy whenever I earned 100% on a test. I was also happy when I could help my classmates understand something. I am currently a CNA. In 5 years I hope to be able to go back to school and become and RN.

Far back as I can remember I have been caring for those in need. As a child while friends would be hanging out I would be going around my grandparents mobilhome park visiting people and taking care of things they weren't able to do themselves. My grandmother ended up getting ill with emphysema and later losing her life to the disease. I was however able to provide inhome healthcare for my grandmother in her last years. From there I became a certified massage therapist working in holistic medicine, chiropractic, and hospital settings alike. That was in 1999 til present. And from there went to loma linda univerisity to persue my degree as a physical therapy assistant. However i had to quit only three classses shy of degree in order to care for my mother who was dealing with cancer and surgery after surgery. My mother was able to beat the odds and come out a surviver. I was able to get wound care certified while attending llu and this i look at as a blessing that God has given me to aid in caretaking those in need. And although I wasn't able to graduate and obtain my degree as a physical therapist I have been able to put my knowlede to work in helping those around me. It is my calling to care for people and all i know in my heart and soul to do.

I am a highly skilled, bilingual, health care professional with over 25 years experience. Developed excellent reputation for being energetic, self-motivated, and compassionate. What makes me a great caregiver is that I am passionate about serving a community of people who, in large part, have become marginalized and neglected by society. I have come to discover that the elderly have acquired amazing wisdom and experience. They have a wealth of knowledge that goes underappreciated and they deserve our utmost respect and courtesy. They are our fathers, mothers, and grandparents. And, in time, they will be us. I have always felt honored to serve and provide care to the very best of my ability, and I retain great pride in knowing that I was able to improve the quality of life for a valued human being. I also have 8 years experience administering Occupational Therapy to individuals with Alzheimer's Disease, developmental disabilities, and head trauma illnesses -- with a strong emphasis on Cognitive Development. Add to that: 4 years experience instructing children diagnosed with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. I am dedicated and passionate about my work. I received a Heroic Service Award on 7/2/2003 Presented for prompt and decisive action in administering the Heimlich Maneuver to a choking victim, which was credited for saving individual's life.
