My name is Melanie, and I am, above all, a wife, mom, daughter to my 91-year-old Momma who lives with us, Gramma, sister, Aunt, etc. Family is important to me; a healthy and happy family. I have always been the nurturer or caregiver in the family, among my peers, in my jobs, with my co-workers and even with strangers that need assistance. My grandparents lived with us when I was little and I started babysitting at 10. Throughout my life I have worked with severely disabled children and adults, developing children's imagination and educating them, created programs for all ages, assisted seniors who needed care in the home and personally lost loved ones to Cancer. I am also familiar with the end of life and/or hospice process. I feel contentment in knowing assistance, time, care and respect I can give to another human makes a positive impact in their life and can give family members a bit of peace knowing their loved one is safe. I try my best to not be a proud person, but I must say one of the best achievements in my life is raising three children to be productive, responsible, respectful and loving adults. My husband, myself and Momma just moved to the Panhandle and I am looking forward to experiencing all the things this area has to offer.

Hi, I'm Karen. I am a mature, single woman living in south coastal Encinitas. I am looking forward to hearing from families that are seeking help. I enjoy helping others, especially elders for whom I have the utmost respect, sympathy and genuinely care about. They are treasure troves of knowledge and full of wonderful life experiences. I meet new and wonderful families and I have become friends with almost all of my clients. I specialize in working with ambulatory victims of some form or stage of dementia/Alzheimer's or other mental illness. Also, I make a good companion for those who can no longer drive. And since I am an animal lover, I will readily care for any kind of pets as well. Again, I look forward to hearing from you to discuss how my background and experience can assist your loved ones and family. Most sincerely, Karen PS: my availability and rates are flexible.

I am a great caregiver because I listen to the person and attempt to meet their needs. I am a good conversationlist and attempt to distract from any negativity. I smile a lot and am a compassionate person. I always try and lead in love towards them.

I became a caregiver due to my father becoming sick three years ago and took care of him at home rather than hospitalization. I find in home care to be more personal and compassionate care. I also feel that people recover faster when surrounded with their familiar items. I love the fact of being helpful and feel that i am giving back to a generation that is wise and strong and should be respected for what they have left for the younger generations. I started a flower garden for elderly and youths five years ago and it was a beautiful experience for the young who had never gardened and for the elderly; some who had no grandchildren. I believe that in life you can learn a lot from the past. I love history and being around to lend a helping hand. I have worked for several non profit organizations as a director and have excellent references and people skills.I am trustworthy and dependable, work well under pressure, take constructive criticism well and a great team player.

Hello, I am seeking a position as a caregiver. I have eight + years recent experience. I also took care of my Mom who passed away Two years ago.

I enjoy jobs with meaning. I should mention that I am petite (5') but strong. I can provide references (from private clients and agencies). Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you!!

I have been a caregiver off and on for over 15 years. I have cared for the elderly, special needs individuals, small children, and babies. You name it and I am sure I have done it. I love caring for others! I am a very energetic and outgoing individual, and treat the individuals I care for as if they are family. I am currently seeking weekend hours, as I work as a behavior therapist during the week.

I am dependant, reliable, compassionate and caring. I have worked with children and adults with varying disabilities and needs. I became interested in being a caregiver at an early age when my parents brought me to their places of work working with adults with varying degrees of cognitive disabilities. The things I enjoy most about being a caregiver are getting to know different individuals personally and being able to help in any way possible. I also enjoy knowing that I can make a difference in someone's life even if in a small way. A personal achievement that I am proud of is making a connection with a 7 year old boy who came to the school for children with special needs that I was working at that allowed him to start trusting adults enough that he started flourishing in our program.

As a Minister it is important to me to live by the Golden Rule, to treat others as you want to be treated. It is an honor & privilege for me to help those who cannot help themselves. Treating all people with kindness and respect is a lost quality in today's society, but it is literally my calling to be a true friend to all. I thought having a high paying career and managing a large firm was my dream until I realized that that was the worlds dream for me. I could not find peace in these types of careers because my calling is to serve others.
