Moraine Valley Community Colle ...

I am a patient and caring Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who takes pride in providing daily care to individuals who need some assistance. I received my certificate as an Advocate South Suburban Hospital Nursing Assistant Clinical Coach.

My 13 years experience in caring and assisting people who can't do for themselves. My characters (trustworthy, reliable, responsible, accountable, caring) shows me with so much compassion for the people I serve makes me a great Caregiver/Personal Assistant/CNA. I became a CNA/Caregiver/Personal Assistant because I enjoy taking care of people who have lost their ability to handle their basic needs. I like being a CNA/Cargiver/Personal Assistant cause I take comfort in knowing that I make people comfortable as possible, put a smile on their face, and help improve the quality of life for them during what can be a trying time in their life. One personal achievement I am proud of is being the main role, for 6 years, in helping a man regains a positive outlook on/for his life after suffering a Stroke that left him with paralized on his right side, wheel chair bound, and told that he would never walk again. I committed myself to be his leaning tower(Personal Assistant/Caregiver). After 5 years of going to Physical and Occupational therapies 3 times a week with him, learning the exercises, then assisting him with these exercises in his home.he is no longer wheel chair bound, he walks 2 miles a day , he drive his vehicle, he's continues exercising in a gym, and he's no longer depress about his ability but encourage others living with a disability.

I love to take care of people expecially elderly. I love to help others. I am proud That I am able to save someone's life. I am also polish so if you need me don't hesitate to contact me to help you out with your loved one.

I became a caregiver because of my parents in need of care...During a 25+year period I have worked as a caregiver/home-care aide also assisted caring for my parents until they departed. I was taught to honor thy mother/ father and respect others at a young age... I have completed and passed a C.N.A. course 15+years ago and have worked in nursing homes and rehab centers for quite sometime now...What I do in making a difference in helping others has always been a joyous experience. I hope I can be an assistant to you. If not I hope you find the help that's needed for you and or your family.

I am a very generous human being and being able to care for and make patients happy is my passion. I graduate with my BSN in September, then I will take my NCLEX exam and be a registered nurse! I have years and years of clinical experience on all different hospital floors. My mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was pretty young, and I witnessed nurses treat her horribly right in front of my face. I just want to be the difference in that. I almost have 2 years of experience in the neuro field. I cared for patients with all different sorts of traumatic brain injuries, aged 24-70. I became very close to my patients at that job and I know that I changed their lives in the most positive ways possible. My grandfather also has beginning stage dementia, so I am becoming specialized in that.

Currently working as a nurse technician at a major downtown Chicago hospital part-time. I would love to share my care companion and cleaning skills with those in need. I work with pediatrics all the way up until geriatrics. And that's not all! I will clean your home as if it is my own and treat your family member a if they were my own. I am an outgoing, always smiling individual that can follow requests thoroughly. I enjoy cleaning as a past time and decided to use the enjoyment to help me pay through nursing school. I am available early mornings to early afternoon, ball park hours of 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Friday and 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. Hours can be negotiable at this time. Your happiness and satisfaction will be my drive!

A great caregiver pocessess patience, love, and dedication. These are all the qualities I believe I process. I have always had a passion for helping others and enjoy every bit of it. I am most proud of my great work history. I am very dependable and have only not been able to work a scheduled date twice in 5 years.

I became a caregiver fifteen years ago because I love helping people! I love being a caregiver because I want to make a difference in people's life. I think everyone is unique and give great care to my clients. I am married and have four children, all grown. I always keep everyone's privacy seriously and respect everyone's ways!

I believe that I am a wonderful caregiver because I enjoy helping people. I also have great deal of patience and empathy for others. I began my career as a caregiver after taking care of my mother and sisters through their long-term illness. I also helped to care for a neighbor periodically while she was recovering from a broken hip. I realized that I received a great deal of satisfaction from giving to others. I have the ability to convince patients to follow doctors instructions when they would ordinarily not do so. I have been know to get even the most irritable client to smile.

It is truly one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I have always been extremely patient. I am compassionate, caring, reliable and very responsible. I can assure you your loved ones will be well taken care of! .. Pay is definitely negotiable.

It's not so much of a "what" makes me a great caregiver it's the "who". I was the sole care take for both my grandfather and father for 2+ years before going to school for my CNA. I know what it means to treat patients like family because I know what it's like to have the one I love sitting on the other end. I pride myself in being very patient, understanding and empathetic. I've always loved helping others, maybe it's because most of my family is in the medical field. My mom being a nurse for the VA hospital and my sister a Pediatrics nurse in Washington D.C, caring for others has always been instilled in me since I was young. I hope to follow in there footsteps in the nursing department because there's really nothing I enjoy more then helping others get the most out of their lives. I really hope to bring the joy I know I can into the lives of your loved ones. Thank you.

I love helping people. I have been a caregiver for over 10yrs part time and full time. My biggest challenge was my parents. My father had Alzheimer's and my mom suffered a stroke. I remember how much relief it was to have someone even for a couple of hours to relieve me. I no longer have my parents but I can continue to help someone's else just like I was help.

Nursing student with over 6 years of caregiver experience. I truly have a passion for helping those surrounded by me. Now I'm a part-time caregiver going to school to do what I do best!

Hello, My name is Angelic Washington . I became a caregiver 10 years ago when my grandma was 84 years old and diagonoised with dementia . It was very hard for my grandpa to care for her alone. My mom and I took care of her until she passed away at 94 years old. During that time I also took care of another dementia patient for 5 years . Elizabeth was a part of my extended family .Her family treated me as their own . Her daughter was able to leave the home for 8 hours a day to work and know her mom was in the best care . I stayed with her until she passed away .

I gained my CNA certification in April 2010. I worked in a hospital for 4 years on a Cardiac Floor. I performed vital signs, hourly rounds, Activities of daily living, changed linens, and bed baths. While working there i was trained to perform EKG testing and certified to draw blood. After having my son i decided to move to the home health field to get my desired hours and not lose out on spending time with my son.

I enjoy helping people. This is something that I'm great at. I take care of people as if they are my family.

Hello! My name is Nakeisha Woods. I've been a Caregiver/CNA for 6 years. My first job in life was working as a private duty caregiver in an assisted living facility. I enjoyed working with seniors so much, I made my mind up to make it my career. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is having the chance to experience that meaningful relationship with your clients. Since my grandparents passed before I was born, it's a plus to get to feel what it's like to have a grandparent, and take a trip down memory with them day by day. One personal achievement I'm proud of is my decision to go back to school. I currently attend Moraine Valley, pursing their Nursing program. If all goes well, I plan to become a private duty RN, maybe have my own company one day!

I started as a caregiver after I left teaching with CPS. Caregiving has become a passion for me. I am honored to be able to help others. I take pride in having high standards, especially when caring for others. I know how important it is to keep clients in their own home. I love that I can help people, especially those in the end stages of life. I am especially proud to have cared for 2 family members in their last months/years and have learned a lot. I continue to be willing/interested in learning whatever I can. I am proud of everything I've learned and taking that knowledge with me to each of my clients. I treat every client with the same care, love, respect, dignity and privacy that I would want to be treated. Each client is unique and I make sure to tailor my care to THEIR needs/wants. I truly enjoy being a caregiver and think of it as more than just a job; it's a dedicated lifestyle. I choose NOT to get my CNA license because it would tie my hands. I would not be able to do wound care, catheter changes, g-tube feedings and changes, medication dosage and set ups, insulin shots, or most of what I have done for my hospice clients. I have been trained by Drs, nurses, hospice staff, CNAs, wound care specialists, and staff at The Rehab Institute of Chicago. I choose to learn and take everything I've learned to better my client's life, for as long as I can.
