I am dependable, compassionate, respectful, and a hard worker. I have been drawn to care giving by my parents example to me and my sisters they all were in nursing care and then when I married, my wife became ill with Alzheimer's & I was her main care provider 24/7 for 6 years. I love to help people even if it is little things they need it brings me satisfaction & joy. My personal achievement I am most proud of is that I have worked with young children with disabilities and helped older people with aging problems.

I'm a very caring and energetic woman of God. I have always loved helping others while also advancing my knowledge in the health field. I followed in my mother's footsteps as she became a CNA, AED, and now an ED. As a caregiver for 9 years, I've come to enjoy helping my clients live their best lives while encouraging as much independent care as possible to eliminate doubts of self worth. I'm proud of all of the knowledge I have gained in the health field. I have learned about many diseases, disorders, and medications through my jobs and schooling. I'm proud of myself for saving a man's life through performing CPR on him for 10 minutes before the ambulance arrived. But most importantly, I've always been told by clients, friends, family, and even strangers, that they can't help but be happy, smile, and laugh around me. That brings me so much joy and pushes me to better myself in life. My career has been so rewarding and I can't wait to continue to help more people in need!

What makes me an excellent caregiver? I've spent many years working in hospitals and cancer patients, physicians offices, nursing homes, and private home care. The many teams I've worked with and amazing patients with so many varied needs have only strengthened my desire to care for others! I treat people as I would want to be treated...it really is that simple. Kindness, compassion, humor, experience, courage and strength are what I bring to every job.

Hi I'm Brandon west I have been a caregiver for 10 years now. I enjoy working as a caregiver because it gives you a feeling that no other job can and that is the feeling of being accomplished for the day. How I got into caregiving was due to my mom having a blood clot when I was a teen. And I figured out then I wanted to help people.

I have been a caregiver/med tech for the past two years. I started in Meridian Idaho at Alpine Meadows Assisted Living as a night shift caregiver I then moved to Jerome Idaho and got a job as a swing caregiver in Twin Falls at Chardonnay Assisted Living. I still work for Chardonnay in Twin, but not as often. The reason I don't work at Chardonnay as often as I used to is because I gave birth to my first daughter nine months ago. I would rather be home with her then away from her. My boss works with me and she calls me about once a month to see if I can work a few shifts in a week. I usually work it out with my husband because he works the 4 AM shift at Costco. I started caregiving because my dad was in desperate need of a noc shift caregiver for his assisted-living. I wasn't planning on going into caregiving, but it was better pay than what I was getting for what I was doing. What I enjoy most about caregiving is the connection you make with your residents. That is my favorite thing. You can form friendships with them and some of them may not have family that live close by so they don't get to see their family every day so you become like family to them and I really love that.

Hi, I'm Savannah! I'm a patient, caring, and dependable caregiver with experience supporting both children and adults with special needs--including my siblings who are blind, autistic, and medically complex. I was drawn to caregiving because I love making a difference in people's lives and helping them feel safe, understood, and valued. One of my favorite parts of the job is building real connections and seeing growth, even in the small things. One achievement I'm proud of is helping my sister develop important life skills despite her challenges--it taught me patience, creativity, and how meaningful progress can be.

I have been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for almost four years and have worked with a multitude of individuals with different medical issues.

I absolutely love this job and I want to continue working as a CNA while I am in Nursing School this year.

I truly have a passion for in-home care. I've spent the majority of my adult life in the field because I feel that it's a field that is overlooked and under appreciated. Having a client be able to stay home safely and comfortably, is my number one goal. I have years of hands-on and administration experience which has given me the opportunity to grow and feed my passion. Compassion and know-how are so important in this role!
