Hello! My name is Brianna Bledsaw! I am 22 years old. I am a very patient person and I work hard. I love working with clients and meeting the new people. I am always happy and I try my best to make other people happy as well. I never thought of being a care giver until my friend was one and I got a job with her and I immediately fell in love with it! I enjoy helping other people in all aspects of their lives.

I am outgoing, kind-hearted, and compassionate. I helped and still help take care of my grandparents by driving them to their doctors appointment, cleaning their house, and helping with personal hygiene. I enjoy helping others especially those who are in need of it most. A personal achievement I am proud of is being able to to help people the most I can and seeing a smile on their face.

I tend to put others needs before my own. 1. Caring for others is a part of who I am. 2. I am self-satisfied helping others. 3. I graduated a Psychiatric Technician program. 4. I'm a very giving and caring person.

I am a people oriented person that loves to help! I am a team player and always have a smile. I've worked different surroundings and can handle them all

I love working with the elderly because it gives me the opportunity to help someone who is not at the state of 100% doing everything for themselves. I enjoy listening to their stories, and learning from imdividuals as well. I do my best to learn every day and use what I learn to my advantage for future refernences. I hope to one day be a nurse and continue to help those in need.

I have great communication, listening and learning skills, not only that but I have greats amounts of patients. Caregiving became an attraction to me around the time my mom became injured and was unable to do certain things without an assistance. I believe the most enjoyable part about becoming a caregiver is the self rewardung feeling that you're doing it for a good cause.

I am a certified CNA with an old heart and soul! I have a year experience in a CNA setting where we have 15 to 18 residents to care for each. It is a tough job and it is very hard sometimes because I cannot spend enough one on one time with each resident due to having so many other residents to care for and such limited time in each shift. Which is why I decided to look for a job where I can care for just one resident, to give all my attention and time to that one person.

I'm 37 years old , I started caregiving at the age of 19 . Growing up I always wanted to help others that needed care at the comfort of their home . My mom has epilepsy and it was very difficult for her being in and out of hospitals . Being younger I learned to maintain her daily needs at the comfort our home . I've worked with many individuals that needed daily assistance it's helped me grow as a person and got so much experience on others needs . That is the rewarding thing for me ..

I became a caregiver when my older sister became a paraplegic. I am grateful to have the opportunity to assist her in her daily needs and would not mind furthering my experience with another client. She is a big girl and I am able to perform transfer duties by myself, although it is easier with assistance. I feel that being a man I am more than willing and capable to assist bigger clients if necessary. I am not a CNA but do have experience in the field of care giving.

I love working with the children and elderly. I spend most time going to school or being with my family. I love caring for elderly as I get know their history and get to know them personal.

Hello everyone, my name is Abygail, but you can call me Aby for short. I have had a year of experience with 4 Autistic children ranging from the ages 10 to 20. I have been more of a nanny as I not only provided all around care at various hours of the day and night, I built a bond with them. This relationship has kept me going as a care provider; I always felt the need to do more and to have fun while doing so. I guess that is what I enjoy most as being a caregiver is the bond that I have with my clients as I treat them like family. A personal achievement that I am proud of is being on a princess on the Miss Porterville court in 2017. I am proud of this accomplishment as it allowed me to be active within the community. It also allowed me to partake in activities with people of various ages and it created opportunities for me. I was not only a role model for future generations to come, but to those of my age within the community, and older.

I became a care giver because I have an interest in the medical field and love to help people succeed in their daily lives. Being a care giver is enjoyable in many ways. You can see individuals grow and learn everyday. I enjoy being able to provide correct care and teaching individuals how to accomplish daily activists that may not be difficult to others but difficult to them. I have seen many great achievements in my career as a care giver. Individuals I have worked with have grown and been about to associate in daily life with encounter ment that we all come a crossed. I feel that is a huge achievement that is very important to me knowing that I was there to help an individual learn, grown, succeed, and live life as we all do. I'm really good with communicating with others. I have worked with individuals with high behaviors including aggressive behaviors. I have learned whether they have bad behaviors or have intellectual development issues does not make them any different then other because certain things they can't do. Not everyone can do everything. All people are and should be treated equal no matter what problems they have.

1. I am kind, humble, responsible, compassionate, patient and come from a family were we care a lot about our elders. 2. I enjoyed caring for my grandmother before she passed and the connection you can develop with these wise people is just amazing. 3. What I enjoy most is building cherished moments with elders while also caring for them. I also enjoy learning from them; you'd be surprised how much you can learn from them. 4. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is how I was able to make my grandmothers life a little better before she passed. I got to connect with her a lot better than the rest of my family did.
