Cerro Coso Community College

I'm a very empathetic, loving person. I love being around people and I absolutely love helping people. I'm a quick learner, a hard worker, and am reliable. I've always wanted to work in the healthcare field, and I plan on taking college courses while making enough money to support my husband and me. I hope to graduate with several different medical certificates within the next year or two. I've gone through some really hard things in my life, and because of them, I'm able to be more empathetic and understanding of others' difficulties. I've prevented over 10 attempted suicides and pride myself on being someone people can count on to help them when they need it the most.

I always try to treat my clients like I would like my family to be treated by a caregiver. I use to help my great grandpa with daily things and he inspired me to be a caregiver. Seeing them doing better then when I started out. Being able to chase my dreams and work at the same time as I'm doing school.

I'm a mom to one, and a Bereavement Doula located in the San Bernardino Mountains. I have provided both care, and loss preparation services for families who's loved ones have aged, or are dying. I've also provided care to younger seniors, with mental and emotional, as well as medical conditions. Being a caregiver, and being able to help families when they need me most is something that fills me with the greatest sense of purpose.

I'm a 44 year old mother who use to be the full time caregiver for my family and now that they are off I'm looking to use my skills to help others.

I became a care taker after caring for my mother (a cancer patient) for three years. It actually fell into my lap, when a friends, friend was looking for help caring for his mother. It was such a blessing, because it directed me in to care taking as a profession. I believe I am a compassionate and friendly care giver because I was once a patient while going through cancer treatment. I understand how it feels to be scared or frustrated with be disabled. Being that helpless gives you a different perspective when dealing with those who are now feeling that same way. I am proud of the kind hearted and compassionate person it has made me become and bring to my work . It is rewarding to help those in need and make them as comfortable as possible through whatever care they need.

I think I'm really good about uplifting there spirits.. I really enjoy being a caregiver because I like providing care for them but I enjoy meeting the family and hearing there stories ...some of my clients have told me I'm there fav. Caregiver.... To me that just means I'm doing my job :).....

I am a hard worker who will on task and keep myself motivated. I am able to talk to people and ask the important questions that others made have forgotten. I have been a caregiver most of my life and with a mother with lupus and a son with ADHD I felt it was the perfect next step in my career. I love helping people feel care about and hopefully easing any loneliness. I hope to not only help your family memberand maybe be a small part of it.

I honestly love that I am able to help someone who could use my help. I enjoy spending time with clients because they teach me so many new things. Especially appreciation. If I am able give someone an opportunity to enjoy their life better in any way....I am happy to help. Gratitude is amazing but it's even greater if you have the right attitude. I live to help others feel better.

Patient, kind, flexible.

I do not consider myself the best caregiver, but if the person who will be aware of the person I have to take care of, I will be the best for that person, I will give everything of myself so that it is very good, I speak English and Spanish, I am very patient, I have my cna certified and my certified caregiver

I became a care giver because I enjoy helping others, especially those who truly need it. I enjoy getting to know those I'm caring for. There is a lot of satisfaction in helping others. I've worked with elderly and disabled clients and have always done my job exceedingly well. I am very personable and get along with everyone. I'm a hard worker with great organization skills. I'm a quick learner and I enjoy cleaning.

Empathy compassion and patience are some of the personality traits that make Rachel Barrett a great caregiver. Rachel fell into caregiving with a request for housekeeping and transportation. Companionship she would say for both
