I worked as a certified nurse assistant for 35 years and I loved it. I love helping sick people old and young, I have a heart for helping everyone if I can. What makes me a good caregiver is the fact that I love doing my job as a caregiver, you have to have it in your heart to be a good caregiver. The personal achievement that im proud of is that I went back to school and received my associate degree in healthcare management and im almost done with my Bachelors degree in healthcare

Hello my name is Tazelle Peet. I enjoy caring for others and their familles. I am a Certified CNA. I have been in this field since 2012. Caring for people is my passion and I do it very proud with a smile on my face. One of my favorite quotes: "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile." ~ Mother Teresa

I always find it a pleasure helping others, being the eldest child of a family of 8 children I've always had a responsibility of caring for my siblings, which I learned as a young girl, then took it up as a job and have enjoyed it. Putting a smile on somebody's face is a good feeling. When my father was diagnosed with cancer I was ready to take care of him, which I did and that was a great accomplishment to see him feel better. Over the years I have worked with different families, one family I worked for had only offered me a job for 3 months because the doctors had told them their mother only had 3 months to live. I took the job and believed I will try and help the family take care of their mother in the finally days of her life, but little did I know that we were going to be together for 4 years. This job is about giving all your faith and hope for the best. I love what I do because I enjoy it.

I Became an cargiver when my father became ill, I gave him the best cae that a daughter Can give up until he pass away.

I work very well with people who i care for an i want to continue to do so for the rest of my life

I'm a great caregiver because i enjoy my profession helping others is a gift I love people and making sure that those I care for is a priority and that I can make them feel better about life and themselves is a joy to me I love what I do you must have a love for what you do.

I am an all around fun, energetic, and caring sitter/nanny/caregiver. I have amazing references because I always leave my clients happy. A lot of my jobs come from vacationers, stuff long parents, and people I randomly meet then offer my services too. I'm not in it for the money and really find a connection with all of the kids I care for. I like to do activities from the beach to stay at home arts and crafts. I like to teach as we play. My goal is to have a prepreschool of my own and service those in my community who need that helping hand and reliable assistance.

I am a compassionate, caring single mother of 2 (20 & 14). 18 years ago I worked as a CNA at Cripple Creek Rehab and Wellness Center, where we had a elderly care, rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addicts and also some psychiatric care with both mental and physical disabilities. I also worked Maxim staffing agency working as a temporary CNA for numerous nursing homes in Colorado Springs, to include hospice care. I then married and decided to stay home to raise my children and let me license expire. I have since been a single mother for the past 10 years and decided to return to school for computer skills to support my family. Recently my youngest son and I have been volunteering with some homeless outreach organizations (Blackbird outreach & Spreading Smiles and Sandwiches Facebook Group) and it has reminded me how much I enjoy helping others and providing support to those in need. Now that my family is older and smaller I have decided I am able to return to this type of role as my career and am reentering this industry. The proudest moment in my life is two fold, raising my children as a single parent with good morals and values and also earning my Bachelor & Master degrees while providing for my family.

Hello my name is Nicole, I have been a medical assistant/caregiver for 10 years. Im compassionate, and strive to help people in the comfort for their homes. I believe people should have the ability to heal at home, and be comfortable.

I am a kind person whose number one goal is to help others. I am reliable, efficient, trustworthy and educated. What attracted me to being a caregiver is giving an individual help and companionship that they may not be able to get on a daily basis. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is forming life long friendships with clients, I enjoy knowing that the client is depending on me to assist. A personal achievement that I am proud of would be having my own business and showing my children you can do anything you put your mind too.

I am a very compassionate caring person. I became a caregiver 21 years ago to help provide for my kids starting out as a HHA and now I hold my license as a CNA for over 2 years. Personal achievement that makes me most proud is raising my 3 kids to be wonderful adults and show them no matter what life throws at you nothing is impossible, I was able to go back to school and not only finish high school but attend college despite being a teen parent.

I'm someone who has always been the person who takes care of everyone. I became a caregiver because I wanted to help people. I enjoy helping people and that's my motivation and what I enjoy about caregiving.

Hello :) I've spent most of my career helping others and It's something I enjoy! Being that support system to those who are in need has been the drive behind excelling as a caregiver. A caregiver is not just a job to me, it's the ability to make a difference and changing lives. I will bring that empathy and compassion that it takes to be an excellent caregiver. I truly believe in taking care of each client as if he/she were a family member. When you keep that mindset you will always go above and beyond to offer the best care possible! -Tanisha

I am an great caregiver because I care about my patients it isn't all about the money. I enjoy what I do.

I have worked with individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities for over 20 years in various capacities. I am CPR/First Aid certified and in the past have been certified to work with individuals with behavioral needs. I have a passion for ensuring that individuals live their life to their full potential. Currently I assist with caring for my love one`s mother who is homebound with complex medical needs. Working as a caregiver in the past has been very rewarding as well as full filling. I have volunteered with the Memories in the Making program through the Alzheimer`s Association in Prairie Village Kansas. In the past I have volunteer to assist individuals who were displaced during Hurricane Sandy in New York City whereas I was able to make connection with elderly individuals who became homeless and needed assistance with daily care as well as with their medical needs. There are many achievements I am proud of throughout the years and are too many to list but I am willing to talk about them with prospective families.

I've been doing this since 2000, off and on. I started off as a CNA. While I no longer have my license, I know how to do a lot of things, such as the proper way to help someone into bed, transferring. I am a single mom of 2 kids. They are teenagers now. I have pets. My parents live across the street from me.

Hi I am very interested in helping others have a better quality of life. My small business focused on just that- from cleaning, cooking, baking, staging, organizing, pet sitting to package and mail puck ups, I gave my clients peace of mind knowing they could trust me to take care of things in their lives they could never catch up on because of other demands in their lives.

I truly care about the mental and physical health of all people without any discrimination. I am friendly and while I seek to assist. I also know many people need to still feel a level of independence and I work within their ability range to assist with this basic human need. I was attracted to caregiving because it uses my love of people and care for others. I love seeing the differences in people and it helps me grow as a person to truly care for and learn about others. I lost and kept off about 100lbs, I graduated college, I make a monthly goal and achieve it. I overcame heartbreak by choosing to heal with a positive outlook. Which was supper hard.

I became a caregiver because of my mother. She was in a nursing home when I was a child and I was't able to take care of her. I decided that this is the type of work I want to be dedicated to and I have been a caregiver for over 12yrs. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I love helping others, having the opportunity to be there for someone in their most vulnerable moment means a lot to me. To see someone succeed when others said they wouldn't is an amazing reward and I want to be apart of that.One of my greatest achievements would have to be earning my Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. I was always told that I could never attain such a degree, that I wasn't smart enough and being able to prove them wrong and myself, meant the world to me. I'm a hard worker, fun and patient. I try to put myself in others shoes before I make a judgment, I'm open minded and honest. I believe that what you put out in the world is what you get back. I'm resilient and determined, I stay focused on my goals and dedication to myself and others. * Displays excellent time management with high attention to detail * Works effectively as a team member * Maintain patient confidentiality in accordance with HIPPA regulations * Strong attention to detail, customer service and listening skills; highly motivated, creative and flexible * Possess effective planning, organizational, communication, presentation and interpersonal skills * Possess Behavioral Health skills and training/Medication, CIT 1 and 2, effective organization skills, ability to redirect, "I" statement skills, Group Home, In Home , Hospital, Adolescent and Adult care, counseling and skill building, substance abuse counseling, post-traumatic stress disorder, mental instability and physical and emotional abuse counseling and group sessions.
