Hello! I am a helpful, nurturing, and attentive young woman with a natural knack for caring for others. I was first drawn to caregiving after growing up seeing the positive impact my mother had on her clients; It made me want to also give back to others. This is what I love most about being a caregiver. There is a great feeling of humility to be able to help others do what they would be unable to do otherwise.

Watching my father survive pancreatic cancer for 18 years, I decided I'd rather be with people than sit behind a desk in an office. I enjoy listening to client's life stories and making their current situation more comfortable. My current client calls me Dimples since I smile so often. We engage in stimulating intellectual and physical activities according to her ability. For the past four years I have helped enable her to stay home rather than moving to a facility. I am a Stamford native, studied at Colgate University and love the Japanese culture, needlepoint and singing.

I have been a successful caregiver for over 15 years in geriatric care within homes and assisted living environments. I am recognized for my ability to Monitor and provide emotional and physical support to patients and staff. I possess exceptional communication abilities and I actually enjoy what I do. I'm ready to offer my services as a traveling caregiver. I sincerely hope we can work together soon.

Hi! My name is Mariah and I am seeking employment as a caregiver to help me pursue a career in Healthcare Administration. I have 7 years of experience with the geriatric population. My background includes clinical care and home health care and I would love to speak to you more about my experiences.

The reason I became a caregiver has a lot to do with the way I was brought up. When I turned 17, my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. I grew up with an amazing single mother, who would've done anything for her parents. So it was no surprise when we sold our condo and built an addition on my grandparents home so we could provide around the clock care. Mom said "you're a cooked goose now... I need your help and support with my parents." So, what helped me become a great caregiver was life experience! What I enjoy most about caregiving is the satisfaction and validation I get from helping people. It's very rewarding and gratifying. What I've enjoyed the most is the relationships I build with my clients! I lost my father at a very young age, and for a while there I worked exclusively with paralyzed veterans. So with no father figure, and the loss of my grandfather figure, having these older male romodels who gave excellent advice and wanted the best for me. It filled a void that I was missing terribly. Pertaining to a personal achievements, keeping my grandparents comfortable in their home until the end takes the cake! I've also graduated college.

Ambitious college-graduate en route to pursuing career as a Physician Assistant. Energetic, caring and compassionate individual. Talkative, good listener, open-minded. Certified Nurse Assistant. Gained experience caring for personal family members with Alzheimer's, post surgery care/assistance, and providing assistance with daily activities such as eating, dental hygiene, dressing and toileting.

I became a caregiver because it is a passion instilled in me I love making a difference in someone's life I was able to make sure one of my clients family members was not alone at the time of their loved ones end of life and it made the transition for them so much more comforting for them knowing I was their for them during this difficult time. I was there for 74 hour straight. I am a strong confident women who can work independently and has a true passion for helping others. It cannot always be about the money it has to come from your heart. I also have a level 2 criminal background check which is done with finger prints and goes through the FBI.

I am a friendly and compassionate student looking for part time work in the afternoons/evenings and on the weekends! I am currently a student completing my last fieldwork rotation in occupational therapy. I have a lot of hands on experience in assisting in self-care, transfers, functional mobility, meal preparation, and general home maintenance. I used to have my nursing assistant certification (CNA) and was a home health aide. I am CPR certified and have experience working with individuals of all assistance levels!

In a way, I've always been a caregiver. I used to care for my great grandmother who sadly passed away this past Christmas. I like to think of myself as someone who loves people. I like to help those in need. What helps me be a great caregiver is my empathy. To care for those who took once took care of us. Since I was emotionally-close to my great grandmother, I would never want anyone to treat her bad. That's why I care for my patients the same way I care for those I love. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the smiles on the patient's faces at the end of the day. Sometimes a client's kids don't often have the time to spend time with their parents and can leave the parents a bit deserted. And all the patient needs is someone to spend time with them and just be a good company. And when I provide this to my the clients I have worked with, and I get to see their faces at the end of the day when I give my goodbye... that makes me happy.

I have a passion for helping people and I feel like I am a very hardworking, caring, and responsible person. I am certified in CPR, first aid, as well as NREMT (meaning I am a nationally registered emergency medical technician). I want to be a caregiver because I'm very interested in the medical field and this will give me good experience. A personal achievement I am proud of was getting accepted into a National Honors Society for first year excellence at UConn, and I am currently on the executive board for it. I plan social events:).

I have experience performing housekeeping tasks and I am able to facilitate cleanliness and maintain a hygienic environment. I am capable of reading and accurately following oral and written instructions, and my attention to detail is one of my most useful assets. Living among my extended family has made me a caregiver, I have often utilized my position to take care of young and old people around me and I have learned a lot doing so.

I am a very compassionate and giving person. I have always enjoyed working with the elderly and individuals with disabilities in an effort to make their lives more enjoyable. Lately I have taken cases that specialize in care for the disabled. I have found that I develop a rapport with these individuals, and in certain cases where all have failed. I give each case I take a 100% of my effort as this is what they deserve.
