I would consider myself to be a person who enjoys working with people, love to joke, talk current events, play games, and consider myself a good home maker. I enjoy and find it satisfying to play a small part in people being able to stay in the homes they love. I consider my greatest personal achievement being able to be being a compassionate caring person.

I would want someone to care for my loved one as if they were their mother or grandmother and that is what I do. I treat all of my residents with love and respect. I love making them smile by conversing, singing, or praying with them. I am very passionate about improving the quality of life of older adults. I will go above and beyond to make your loved one feel comfortable and loved.

Hi! My name is Hailey, I am 20 years old and interested in being an official caregiver. I am a very caring person. I care about the safety of others so much. I enjoy being inside or going out and doing things. I'm especially close with my mother, and I was to my grandma who just recently passed. I first had an interest in care-taking when my mom got really sick. I was just a Junior in high school, taking her to appointments, administering medicine into her picc line. Helping her with everything. And then when my dad got sick I was the one to take care of him, driving to appointments, helping him walk, do physical activities, etc. And now that my grandma has passed away I have been helping my grandpa with certain things, more of being a companion rather than anything. And then as my time as a PSA really opened my eyes as in what I can do and how much it affects the people I help. I enjoy knowing how much just me helping someone can mean to someone. I enjoy knowing my grandpa looks forward to the days when I come visit him. It's a reward for myself too. I feel good when I help others. I think I am most proud of when I stepped up and took care of my mom when I was so young and still in school. I did well academically and was still able to take care of her. Because of that we share an extremely tight bond with each other. I often find myself becoming closer to people of age rather than people around my age, and finding someone who needs that companion will really benefit the both of us. :)

I am reliable, punctual and professional. I haved decided to move into the caregiver field because I have been providing care to my family over the past several years as well as to supplement my income because I have three children. I returned back home to care for my family as they were experiencing the following; mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease/Leukemia about three years ago, she is 91 years old now, my 50 year old sister has Down's Syndrome with a variety of health issues as well as mobility challenges and my father just passed 1/18/18 at 91 years old from cancer. My youngest sister and I took care of our father in the last stage of his life, then we decided to call in hospice. The nurse was fantastic and instructed us on his medication needs, cleaning and emotional support. We cared for him until his last breath without assistance from anyone else but the nurse.

Hello! My name is Autumn Davis! My husband and I moved to California in July of 2019! My husband, Charlie, is in the United State Marine Corps. We have a husky/lab mix. Her name is Luci! I am currently in school to become a Medical Assistant. I have been in healthcare professionally since 2016, but my mother and grandmother were in the nursing profession all my life. As a junior in high school, my goal was to become a CNA and work in the nursing home my grandpa use to live. I did just that. I saw how the CNAs treated him and that hurt my heart. I wanted to go in being bubbly, polite, and loving. My goal was to make them feel at home because in the end it was their home. My favorite part about being in the medical field is seeing all the different personalities. Once they come out of their shell, some are funny, shy, or sassy. I love them all. I am a great caregiver because I am mentally strong, easy to talk to, and will take care of whoever as if they are my family. A personal achievement I am most proud of is going back to school. After high school, I went to a university to major in nursing. Sadly, I didn't make it in the program. I didn't know what I wanted to do so I moved to California. After about a year out of college I decided it was time to go back. I decided on taking classes to become a Medical Assistant. Although I'm not finished, I just can't wait to be able to further my education and provide care to those who are in need.

I am always opened mined to learn and look for better ways to improve the comfort of a client. What attracted me to being a caregiver, is my affection for others especially individuals who need assistant. Growing up I helped my grandparents with their daily activities because they were no longer fit to do it themselves. Since then I have made it a passion of mine to help either children or adults who are in great need of assistance. I enjoy the progress they make each day, be it a smile or an effort to become better each day. I am proud of my work ethics and dedication to the responsibilities that I put in the job everyday.

Compassionate and caring home health care professional looking for career opportunities in the Castle Rock, Colorado area.

I am a very patient person with senior citizens & have a "contagious smile". I started working as a server at my senior living home thinking only I was going to be a server but really I started to enjoy some of the residents company. Many of them were so sweet & it was interesting to see old photos of them. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is just building a relationship with the residents I meet or the new residents that come in every other month.

I have so much compassion for the elderly as I saw my father struggling both mentally and physically. I help my mother frequently when I get home. Simple tasks are becoming hard for her. I love helping her. It is very rewarding for me and she loves it! My personality is very outgoing and easy to talk to. My most special achievement is raising 3 great children. They all are very prosperous! Also I help with dog rescue. We have a huge problem here in TX and every life I help save is so gratifying!
