Argo Community High School

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 have worked with various different types of people. I am very caring and enjoy taking care of people. I have 4 kids that I loved raising. I came from Jordan in 1996. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them.

I have been a caregiver for a little close to 5 years , I love having the feeling that I am taking care of someone makes me feel like I have something right , I once got an award for being employee of the year, I am dependable, reliable and very trustworthy

I am a very sociable person. I love getting to know people and even more, I love helping people. When I started working in nursing homes I found it very rewarding and it still is. I care about my residents a lot and that is what led me to go to school for Cna. I wanted to be able to help them out as much as possible.Being an activity aide helps some residents open up more to me than they would with other people. They come to me to take a load off, get their mind off of everything else. Activities makes their day go a little bit better and that is a very big reward for me. I would love to continue to help and care for people so home care seems like a great fit to me.

I'm 21 years old and have been a caregiver for about 3 years now. I am very friendly, great listener, very clean and organized. I absolutely love helping others that are in need and always up to learning new things to help me improve my skills.

I'm very hard working and make sure that all my work is done. My client love working with me and I love working with them. My clients alway come first and make sure that their needs are met. What make a want to be a caregiver is that it very fulfilling know that I'm helping other and I have the opportunity to work with other people. I enjoy being a caregiver because whenever I go to a client house when they see me they smile and so happy to see me and that just make my day. And also I can make a difference. Caring for other people other then myself. Making sure other people are treated like Part of my family. I get attach to my client and make them feel love and care for.

Hi my name is Erinique Camp, I've been working in and around the healthcare/nursing field for 6 years now! I chose this career because I enjoy helping to fulfill the needs of our elderly and people who seek care of rehabilitation . I realize this is a job that not everyone can fulfill because it takes compassion, accountability, respect, and empathy and much more! I am licensed as a certified nurses assistant and I've worked in long-term facilities with alzheimer's and dementia care, therapy/rehabilitation, and also as a home caregiver. I wish to continue on working in nursing and to build a higher source of education and learning in it!!

I started my career in care giving because I was taking care of my grandmother who passed away of cancer. I'm a nurturer by nature! I love taking care of people and helping them feel as independent as possible. It's a personal accomplishment to know that you touch lives everyday you go to work. I love what I do!

Hi! Nice to meet you my name is Jenna Olszewski. I completed my CNA certificate and Moraine Valley in early August and now i am in search of the perfect job! I have always been a very caring, outgoing, patient and empathetic person and i think that's what drew me to being a caregiver. That and both my mother and sister are nurses. I spent most of my time at the end/after high school being a care aide for my grandfather, who broke his leg in 2015, until he unfortunately passed away in 2016. After that i went immediately into being the primary caregiver of my father who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017 until he passed away March of this year. I understand what it means to put your parent in the care of others and how new and frightening it might be but i promise to take care off them like they were my own family member. Thank you for reading and i hope to hear from you! -jenna
