I have been a caregiver and understand therapeutic and empathetic communication. I am patient and am currently in school receiving my nursing degree. I have hospital clinical experience, I am BLS certified through the American Heart Association and love movies and hearing stories from he people I care for.

I would best describe myself a caregiver who is patient. I understands that there may be changes in plans, things may not go as quickly as planned, and there may be a little hesitation at times on the part of the person receiving care. I am also attentive to the needs and changes that are taking place so that I may notice when there are emotional or physical changes in the person that I am caring for. Nevertheless, I am compassionate towards others and I understand what he/she may be going through. Moreover, I am dependable and I understand that it is imperative that I be punctual and that as a caregiver I show up to provide adequate care. Last but not least I am trustworthy and I will actively work to build and maintain trust at all times. I have a love of helping others it is one of the reason why I decided to become a Social Worker. I am currently in school at the University of Southern California and I am working on my Masters Degree in Social Work and I am invested in becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

What makes me a good Caregiver is that I am able to empathize and have a personal understanding and connection with each client. I am also patient and flexible. I am very passionate about being a helping hand when needed. I am able to put the needs of my clients before me and take charge when necessary. Engaging, attentive, and showing sympathy is what also makes me a great caregiver.

Coming from a family of medical practitioners, caregiving may be in my genes. My natural positive energy and desire to help, assist and comfort others have all been lifelong assets when working with children and seniors. I am interested in learning and doing all I can to help people be inspired, secure and cared for as much as possible. I believe this aids in their own healing, recovery, and longevity. In recent years as a caretaker for two senior family members, I was impressed with my ability to tune into some of the emotional issues of the family members and offer useful ideas to help them operate around some destructive behavior. It takes a village to raise and support a family.

I am a very careing and compassionate person who loves to help people feel alive and happy and maintain a healthy lifestyle

I was employed as a personal assistant/caregiver for 2 years by a woman with polio. I assisted with her by doing tasks such as cooking numerous recipes, gardening, cleaning as well clerical work. Additionally, I helped her with art classes she conducted around the area. These classes involved instructed children and adults who were physically or mentally challenged. I learned how to instruct them in making the art project as well as talked with them about themselves and their attendants on how best to help them. Often, I was sent out alone to conduct these classes when my employer was unable to attend. After that job, I used these skills to care for my mother, who had Parkinson's disease and the resulting mental problems, and later my father, after he had heart surgery. As with my previous job, I do cooking, cleaning, laundry and anything else they may need.

I've always had a passion working with seniors and would care for them as if they were my family with dignity and respect.

Hello, I have done this type of work for quite some time including memory care and hospice. I enjoy talking with patients and share stories even if they can no longer talk. I find it soothing and comforting for the soul on both ends. I am pretty easy going and have much experience in helping people with daily living activities, exercises, appointments, etc. Currently I am working on my hands on experience hours needed to apply for Physician Assistant school, therefore I am pretty astute when it comes to nutrition and other sciences. Thank you for your time.

I'm a responsible and caring professional dedicated to helping with needs.
