University of Illinois at Chic ...

I was in the restaurant business for twenty years before my father became ill. I chose to quit my job and take care of him until he passed away. It was the best, most rewarding experience of my life and I would like to continue taking care of others.

With over 6 years in the health and educational field , I have gotten so much experience that emits through my work. Working with developmentally disabled individuals has taught me to be extremely patient and empathetic. Working at the hospital has made me seen patients at their best and worst. Therefore I believe in improvement. A positive incline in my patients health is what motivates me to choose to further my education. Presently attending The University of Illinois at Chicago, juggling school, personal life, and work has also taught me to be extremely time cautious and very resourceful. I look forward to hearing your story and working with you to gain as much independence as possible.

Hello there! My name is Blanca Estrada. I'm 21 years old and am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I have been a caregiver for the past year and a half. Before that, I was a babysitter for several different families as well. I love being a caregiver because I feel like every day I'm able to make a difference in someone's life. When I'm able to help someone and bring a smile to their face, I know that I've done something right and have made a difference in that person's life. I wanted to become a caregiver because I've always had the drive to help people. To me, it's always been about helping those who need it and making sure that someone is always there for them. I also enjoy meeting new people and creating relationships with them that go far beyond just the work. I love being a caregiver and hope to continue doing this.

I decided to get involved in care giving because I love helping people. Everyone needs someone and I would like to be that person for others to lean on in their time of need. I enjoy that with this position because I am able to be a asset to someones life. I don't see this as being a job but an opportunity to give the care that one may need. I am proud of myself for continuing furthering my education in the healthcare field. I have my certificate of completion for being a CNA and I am enrolled in nursing school. I am a hard dedicated worker in what ever I do.

Having been a caregiver for over 10yrs, I have experienced many different types of patients. I have given a patient meals through a tube and I have spoon fed them. I've organized medications from pills to shots. I have given bathes to patients that were bedridden, in a wheelchair, and those that needed assistance into the shower. I do laundry and make meals. I enjoy having conversation or playing games I have 10yrs of experience watching over a dementia/Alzheimer's patients. Plenty of going over family photos, taking walks, playing simple card games

I have cared for 2 children, my mother, and 2 grandchildren in the last 35 years. I have been caring for someone most of my adult life. I believe that everyone needs to have someone who would care for them with a kind heart and spirit.

1. As I was raised by my grandmother when I was younger, naturally, I get along amiably with older adults in my present profession. In serving them, I know that my grandmother would be proud of me. Most of all, I enjoy the friendship of each resident, as well as they enjoy mine. It has always been a fulfilling experience to work as a caregiver. 2. My favorite part is building trusting relationships among residents, co-workers, supervisors, visitors, etc. 3. No matter what the challenge or experience, I have my passion for health-care to offer knowing that I'm helping to empower a community. 4. I have had four years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I work exceptionally well in the area of geriatrics, having cared for residents in independent living, assisted living, and hospice. To further expand my experience in healthcare, I am beginning my enrollment at St. Catherine University this fall 2014 pursuing the Dual Degree Nursing Program.

I am currently a nursing student wanting to put what I have learned thus far to practice as a caregiver. I believe we learn most through practice and experience. I have done my fundamentals, med/surg, and mental health clinicals at two hospitals and a rehabilitation home. What attracted me to being a caregiver is being able to help others and making a difference. I find what I do as a very rewarding job. I also enjoy learning through caregiving and being a companion.

I have found a passion to work with people. My positive attitude and deep consideration of the needs of my clients has been recognized by my employers. My experience in music and art have encouraged creativity with my clients.

Because I cared about elderly and I love been around them. I took care of my grandma and we go out together. She likes going out and that is where I develop the hobby.
