Moraine Valley Community Colle ...

I completed the CNA program from Moraine Valley Community College in 2009 and received certification. I worked as a Caregiver/Companion from 2010-present. I was promoted to Care Manager in 2016. I gained knowledge about home care management and recently returned to school to pursue a degree in Social Work. I will have 10 years of experience in the home care field in the fall.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy taking care of those who can no longer do for themselves. I also became a caregiver because I thought that it would be the perfect stepping stone for nursing. I love being a caregiver because I enjoy taking care of people and helping others. I also enjoy how personal the work is, one can really get to know the patient and family. I am proud of everything I have accomplished in my profession however the one thing that means the most is not even 6 months into my career I was given the position of team leader, this means all new teams members were orientated by me and my professional opinion was valued during evaluations. Personally I am a very outgoing person who loves to be involved. I am a very hard working and reliable person and love working on my own, which is why I believe home health would be the perfect position for me. I understand that regardless of age and needs the transition of having a caregiver is difficult for family members, therefore my job is not only for the patient but for family members as well. I hope that you will allow me to be apart of your life transition as I am excited for you to be apart of mine.

Hello, my name is Ala and I’m a CNA with more than three years of experience. I chose a CNA job because I took care of my grandmother when I was a teenager. Since then, I dreamt about working with geriatric people and helping those who are in need. CNA is a job where mercy, compassion, and wisdom of life play a huge role. This profession carries with it not only assistance to specific individuals, but also sets an example for the humane attitude of man to man. Other than the impossibility to perform activities of daily living, the main psychological problem of the elderly person is loneliness. The CNA worker is expected to help people accept their own old age, find themselves at this stage of life, and prolong their vitality. One more thing that attracts me in my profession is opportunity to speak to my clients. As you know, older people have seen a lot in their lives so they can give one a wise piece of advice and it is interesting to listen about their lives.

I had became caregiver because I love to help others that are in need and cant do everyday activities by themseleves. I love to make a difference in ones life on the proper care that is given to each individual. I am very proud of the way I can cate and help so many people heal and get better by just simple everyday needs. I have been a caregiver over 2 years and love evrfy minute of it. I aam very passionate about what I do. In my free time I love to play with my animals.

Nursing student with CNA certificate, home health care experience and hospital clinical experience with a passion for providing compassionate quality care to others.

I've been a caregiver for approximately 15 years and enjoy working with seniors.They need and appreciate all the help they can get.I really become like a friend but always keep it professional...

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My name is Nour but you can call me Nora. I've always had a passion for helping people. There's nothing more rewarding to me then knowing I could make someone's day a little easier and brighter. I am a patient, caring, and honest person I give 110% at everything I do. I love being a caregiver because I want to make sure my clients are well taken care of and treated with the utmost respect and compassion that they deserve.

Im very professional but I also like to treat patients like family. The reason why I picked this job was because I always wanted to help people in some way. For me helping button down shirts, brushing hair, toileting, even the smallest thin, gives me satisfaction;! knowing I'm doing good and I'm helping those in need is very joyful. I put myself in those shoes and think of the way I would like to be treated if I was in a situation like that. The thing I'm always proud of is when people says "what will we do with tou you?" it's not ego, it just shows me that I'm doing a great job.

I am a very compassionate person and anything that I do I give it my all. I'm studying at Saint Xavier University and I'm taking a minor in Gerontology which is the Study of Aging. That really bought interest to me and I would love to work with the elderly as I complete my Bachelors and Start my Masters in Gerontology. I am a very patient person and have great communication skills. I love communicating to people and just getting to know them really interest me. My grandfather is 86 and I would care for him for example drive him to the grocery store or just grabbing ice cream is what he really likes to do. I would cook for him and clean the house up for him when my uncle was at work. My aunt stays with him but she is deaf and mute so it can be hard for her at times. I enjoy helping both of them when needed.

I am a mature, Christian woman; honest, hard-working, and reliable. I enjoy working with the elderly, and specialize in dementia and hospice. I consider my greatest asset to be my "people skills"!

I am a compassionate and caring caregiver. I put others before my self and have a good heart. I love helping people and it gives me motivation so that little by little I can make the world a better place .

I am 18 year old girl living completely on her own. I have always been responsible to take care of children and elders in my family. I grew up very close to my Grandma, who inspired me to become a nurse. I'm attempting to pay my way through nursing school by doing what I know best, caring for people. I am a great conversationalist and have an ability to put people at ease. I am a hard worker and will be there for every single need and make the person in my care feel comfortable around me.

Communication, is what attract me most about being a caregiver. I enjoy helping out, going places, and being someone's company. Going back to school for nursing and i believe this is a a great start.

I am a kind,loving, and a compassionate mum I love people I love caring for people I'm like making people happy

I am very outgoing and strive to help others. I enjoy learning about others and helping them through difficulties they may endure. To be a great caregiver, compassion is involved. Since I was a child, I always knew I wanted to help others however I could, whether lending an ear to listen, being a friend, or lending a helping hand. I believe that is what attracted me to become a caregiver. I want to become a nurse when I finish school. I really enjoy getting to know my clients, and knowing that I am doing the best I can to make their lives a little better in any way that I can. The biggest personal achievement I am proud of is putting a smile on someones face.
