I am a student studying Occupational Therapy who is interested in working with older adults. While I was completing my undergraduate degree, I worked part-time as a CNA at a long-term care facility for 3 years and I absolutely loved the experience. I genuinely enjoy working with the older adult population. I feel that there is a lot I learn from the stories and life experiences that older adults have. I am currently only taking classes a few days a week which gives me some extra time to pick up a caregiver/companion job. I am caring, patient, easygoing, and responsible and I hope you will consider me to be yours or your loved one's caregiver!

Hello! My name is Emily. I'm a 25 year old from the Midwest with a degree in Elementary Education, but I love working with and caring for people of all ages. When I started working at a summer camp for people of all ages with a variety of disabilities, I realized my passion for doing personal care and allowing people to live their fullest and most independent lives. I love building relationships with people, and I especially love the idea of caring for someone in their own home and allowing them to maintain their independence and live in the place they are most comfortable. I have experience teaching preschool special education and have worked with people of all ages. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

I am very patient with residents and helping with their needs. I love to help people out with their needs especially the elderly. I enjoy talking with the resident the most. I really love to connect with them and have a real conversation. I am proud of myself for accomplishing my CNA licences and that I am starting college for pre-med.

I'm a very outgoing person that loves to talk to others about anything and everything. I enjoy taking care of others and doing my best in making them as comfortable as possible and feel cared for. I like being a caregiver because I love getting to know other people and being able to make their lives a little bit easier. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is how many times my patients/residents tell me how caring I truly am. These people see so many faces and know how cares about their jobs versus who don't, and to be remembered and appreciated is the most rewarding thing to me.
