What makes me a great caregiver is that I'm a very patient person with a williness to help and care for the elderly, what attracted me to be a caregiver was a few time I would help p/t and I just kept getting offers to come back....i also enjoy most about being able to assist seniors in there own environment without not having there own independent and willing to do. I feel achievement when someone looks at me and says,I like you for being hear for me can't wait to see you...now that's my achievement.

I have four years of experience as a caregiver. I will pursue a degree in nursing as I love to take care of elderly people. I am a hard working Caregiver dedicated to providing friendly and helpful life assistance and health care to the elderly and infirm. Proficient in meal preparation and serving, completing housework and housekeeping duties, and providing medication and retrieving medical care for patients. Specialize in forming a close bond with patients and ensuring their comfort and happiness.

I starting working as a caregiver over 7 years ago, when my mother got ill. At that time I was a deer in headlights. Since then, I decided to pay it forward, and help ease the pain other families were going through. I've become close with the families that trusted me to care for their parents. Being able to grant people their wishes to live in their own home (instead of a nursing home) brings me great joy, and satisfaction. References available upon request.

I am responsible for the care and well-being of Elderly. With the kind of field I endeavor the sensitivity, giving nature and nurturing desire to help those in need. I am good in giving Patient a bath, dressing them, feeding and overseeing the safety and emotional needs of their charges. The qualities I have as a caregiver is a sense of empathy for those being cared for. Whether I am helping an elderly person with mental disability or emotional problems or incapacitated from surgery. I have sense of personal understanding and connection I considered vital. As a caregiver I understand their charges may feel vulnerable, scared, confused and uncomfortable, and being able to identify and allay these fears can create a sense of calm and trust for those I cared for. Normally patient I care typically lack the ability to be fully independent and self-sufficient, which can lead to frustration and lashing out. Elderly patients who can’t express his hunger or pain verbally or a paralyzed house-bound individual who feels trapped and out-of-control, patience is vital role of my caregiving job. I must separate myself from potential anger and resentment and not take the situation personally, all the while still providing high-quality care services. Elderly people I cared for often take longer than usual to complete simple tasks or routines. I understand there limitations so I tried to help reduce tension in the environment. As a caregiver, I recognize capabilities and encourage self-sufficiency while still providing necessary levels of care and attention. Having realistic expectations about what an individual under my care is capable of can help me provide individualized and appropriate care. As a Caregivers I deal with bodily fluids, wound care, bathing and other personal hygiene routines of their charges. As a caregiver I don’t shy away from delicate situations and works to help those they care for retain a sense of dignity.

I love being in the company of an elderly person and helping them with their activities of daily living. Being a caregiver gives me a sense of hope and makes me feel worthy. It is very flexible job for me because I am a student and like working at my own pace and in a job I love. I have learnt so much from the people I take care of and one of my greatest achievements is going back to school to further my education and chosen career. I am 24 years old and a student of Oakton community college. I come from Ghana west Africa and am very hardworking, have a sense of humour patient and very caring. It doesn't matter how difficult a patient is, I always get him/her to cooperate with me.
