My interest in assisting senior adults began at 19 in my church. And even earlier, I had a deep love for my grandmother. I saw that I could truly help them. The interaction of youth and maturity was fascinating. Of course, the blessing came in the serving, and enlisting others in the serving. Gaining the trust of so many seniors. I believe in personal freedoms, honesty, respect, and fairness. I know that all of us are terminal. I know that 'love' is the strongest thing in the world, and must be used more. I can be be a strong advocate for my friends. I love many animals, (esp. dogs), classic rock, exercise, and scanning magazine articles. I am a news 'junkie'.

Hello! My name is Dominique I am a full-time graduate student looking to supplement my time with caregiving. I have experience working home health and healthcare in great settings. And with my current schooling in occupational therapy, I can make sure movement and ADLs are given attention. I love working with my clients and pride myself on having a kind and empathetic personality!

I have a smiling personality. I am patient and cooperative within reason. I provide support and assistance withing an individual's capabilities. I understand the importance of independence and self-confidence. I have many years of experience with developmental disability and elderly care.

I am a genuinely sincere person who enjoys helping others. I work hard and listen carefully. I am reliable and have a firm understanding of how important reliability is to those expecting you to be there when you say and do what you say. I have worked as a Social Worker in health care for many years and have the ability to assess a home environment and see where the needs are to assist adequately and make helpful recommendations to promote independence. My husband has his own business and I help to manage that business but miss being able to work with others. I think it is fulfilling when you have the ability to assist someone and make their day just a little easier. I enjoy seeing the transformation on an individuals face when you arrive to help with their needs and they seem worn out and discouraged but after you have helped them, listened to what they had to say, and validated them by doing things their way then you see them energized and smiling. That is the most rewarding feeling. I have several personal achievements that I am proud of I went to college and have a Bachelor's degree and did that while raising children, I have helped my granddaughter achieve her goals to go to college and become a nurse, and I have had a successful happy marriage for 31 years now.

Greetings, my name is Athena Patterson and I was born to serve. I grew up in a large family filled with strong, loving and passionate women. Having my grand parents as part of my village, taught the importance of caring for individuals outside of my self. I loved assisting my grandmother with cooking, washing clothes and was even able to help her with my GREAT-grandmother was pure joy. Growing with Nurse Practitioners, RN, LPN's and CNA's, gave me a solid understanding of the importance of being a care taker. From being a big sister/cousin to having children of my own, providing care for those in need has always been a natural and rewarding trait I'm PROUD to possess. My commitment to serving as a compassionate and knowledgeable assistant--as well as my sound communication and organization skills--give me confidence in my ability to benefit and enhance the life of your loved one. From volunteering my time assisting the elderly with day-to-day tasks and offering physical and emotional support , my background has prepared me to excel at making a difference. My ability to connect with individuals and establish trusting relationships, position me to thrive at being the best version of me. Thank you for your consideration.

Having taken care of my grandmother and my sick father has given a better understanding of quality care that's need to provide to my clients. I now understand that each client/patient that I interact with is different when it comes to their ADLs. What attracts me about being a caregiver is that I get to meet new people, we form a bond with one another. Me personally after a day of providing care for my patients/client I go home feeling like I've accomplished something by making a difference in someone's life. It all started with taking care of my grandmother and father which led me to develop the skills of providing care for other clients. I look forward to meeting and providing the best care to you and/or your family member.

My name is Wanda Lao, I've been a cna/medtech for 17 years now. I have experience in nursing homes,hospitals,assisted living facilities and also home care. I am also bilingual:) I enjoy taking care of the elderly and providing the best care possible.

I think what most makes me an excellent caregiver is my patience and passion for good care, the people closest to me say I'm a little too empathetic sometimes even though I can come off as blunt at first impression. What attracted me to being a caregiver was wanting to make sure I was able to take care of the people I love some day. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the bonds I get to make and the incredible people I meet. One of my biggest personal achievements I'm most proud of is my family, the kids I raised and the support system I have built around myself.

I have 20 years experience as a certified nursing assistant and private duty home health caregiver. My experience includes nursing homes, assisted living, private duty home care and hospice care. I have extensive knowledge in caregiving.

I am a very caring, attention orientated, and patient individual. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver is I absolutely love caring for people. I always say, my goal is to take care of a patient, as I would take care of my very own family member. The thing I enjoy most of all about being a caregiver is that smile and appreciation of my patient after helping to make their lives easier. My biggest achievement I am proud of is graduating college before graduating high school. It just came to show, whatever I put my mind to, I can achieve.

My name is Cooper Tisch. I value personal relationships and vow to provide physical and emotional support to clients. I arrive punctually, communicate well and am a vigilant worker.

Hello! My name is Miranda Bowden. I am dedicated student and a loving person! I love being around people and meeting new people. I am currently wanting to pursue a career in medicine and health care. I have a love for helping others, which is why I decided to become a Home Health Aid.

Hello, my name is Cassidy and I am currently in my second semester of nursing school. I do not have my CNA because the first semester of nursing school is equivalent to being a CNA! I have experience working in a long term care facility, and would enjoy being able to work with a resident one-on-one. I am looking to stop at my management retail job so that I can begin working within my field. I am available all day Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am at class the other three days, but may be able to work nights, depending on the situation. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Hello! My name is Felicia I am 29 years old and I live in Longwood, FL. I have always been a very care giving individual, and a dedicated hard worker. I love helping others, and basically providing any type of assistance I can to help them through their day.

I am a compassionate caregiver with experience with multiple in-home disabled clients. Proven track record of excellence in providing for daily needs, including homemaking, cooking, transportation, and supplementing therapy. I have efficiency, and time management skills. I enjoy helping clients because they always add light to my life. Being able to help them without making them feel like they are not capable is the most rewarding feeling. My empathetic personality allows me to be present and patient in all situations, and efficiently problem solve.

I have been working in this field since 1990. My parents influenced me to enter this field because I didn't want them to stay in a facility; It was easier to take care of them instead of someone else. I thought I'd do a better job than the people that worked at the facility. When clients are happy, I feel better about myself because I did something good. My parents passed several years ago but I still have the drive to make other clients feel good about themselves and be proud of it at the end of the day. I know how to take good care of clients and provide the services that are required of me. Every client is different in their own way but you always have to remember your purpose and why you are taking the assignment. Treat all clients with respect just you are expecting to treat you, respect their beliefs,

I'm a great caregiver because I exemplify patience, compassion, and empathy. A few of my morals in life are to: be attentive, dependable, and trustworthy. I remember learning in elementary school, "treat people the way you want to be treated". That saying stood out to me the most while taking care of my grandfather whom suffered from ALS. I pride myself in doing the right thing. It's both gratifying and rewarding being a caregiver and a companion.
