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.

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.

I am a very hardworking woman, I love taking care of other people and enjoy making people feel safe. Someday I would like to be a nurse and this is a way for me to have experience and strengthen my communication skills. I have came a long way and every year I reflect what I had achieved and how I will continue to achieve more.

I have a gift from God for interacting with older people. I was so fortunate to find this out so young at 17. I enjoy anticipating people's needs. And am able to brighten up the environment. I truly care... I have 30 + years experience with an emphasis on movement disorders like Parkinson's Disease.

I am a very caring and compassionate person who enjoys working with older people. I have worked extensively with people who suffer from dementia/Alzheimer's, so I have a pretty good understanding on how to work with those who may suffer from memory loss. I am very passionate about my work and treat the people I take care of like I would want someone to treat my family. I've worked for 3 years (seasonally) as a CNA in a nursing home, and I briefly worked as a CNA in home healthcare and absolutely loved it. I think I am a great caregiver because I'm a very calm and patient person who is willing to go the extra mile to make someone smile. Above all, I make sure the people I take care of have their needs met.
