I went into caregiving because I find a great deal of satisfaction taking care of others. I particularly enjoy the elderly. I have worked in private homes and in rehab facilities (alcohol and drug abuse) during the past 6 years. I also attended nursing school, but did not complete my course work. I have a CNA certificate. People say I have a pleasant personality and I am able to communicate well with anyone.

Hello! I have a 3 years experience as a CNA, and still currently employed at the hospital as a per deim. Why I wanted to apply as a caregiver? Because I want to give the best care I could give to my grandma who is thousands miles away from me, by doing it to my clients, hoping that the care I give will return the favor to my grandma. Also it's less stress to work with 1 or 2 person than a fast pace environment like hospital where there is over 20 patients to take care of! I'm not complaining of anything, but i think i must emphasize that .

I became a caregiver in 2013 and absolutely love every minute of it. A little about myself, I am a wife and mother of two girls. I currently work full time and I am in school full time for Nursing. I am currently taking classes to better learn and assist in the health care profession. I have done home health care for the last 8 years. I have experience with Dementia, Alzheimers, Cancer, and so much more. If you would like to know more, feel free to send me a message and we can discuss more.

I am a caregiver who came from Colombia five years ago. Before I left my country I used to take care of my uncle who was in a coma for over a year. The experience that I had it takes a special person to take care of someone who needs help. Since I've been in USA I've had the opportunity to work with and help many seniors, disabled and terminally ill patients. One year ago I decided to open my own business which offers transportation for the seniors around the Coachella Valley.

Although I have 20 years of experience working with the elderly, I find that every new relationship is different. If there is one thing I've learned, it's essential for a caregiver to be patient especially while working with personality and behavior changes in Alzheimer's/Dementia clients. These changes can include sleep problems, sundowners, hallucinations, delusions, and wandering. Things rarely go as planned. Therefore, being flexible and understanding is just as important as patience.
