Indiana University - Purdue Un ...

I've been working with elderly patients for 5 years as of now and have enjoyed every moment. I enjoy working with clients to ensure they receive excellent care.

I'm currently a childcare provider, so im always looking forward every day to helping someone in need whether its a child or an older adult.

I first became a caregiver during college as a job with flexible hours at a hospital in my community. I worked there as a patient companion for 3 years where my duties included giving care to all types of mentally and physically challenged individuals. Other jobs I have had as a caregiver EX. I was sole caregiver to an elderly retired professor who needed help with pretty much everything physically, and suffered from dementia as well. I lived in with him 4 days a week 24 hours a day for 6 months so that his wife could continue teaching at the University and traveling. I recently moved to Portland Oregon and have a job that is less emotionally rewarding than I would like it to be. I love being a caregiver because I am excellent at it. Every patient I've ever had (no matter how difficult) has always grown to love me and consider me a part of the family. I am a well educated (two bachelors degrees) and genuinely patient and understanding person. I would love to be able to find a family in need of my skills so that I can begin working again at a job I am passionate about. I have two bachelors degrees in english literature and philosophy so I love to read in my down time. I am 26 years old, and have a 3 month old son named mason who is my whole world. I am just getting settled into portland and would love to have a job as a caregiver again in the near future.

I enjoy taking care of elderly & helping people in general. I love sports ,outdoors ,movies, & cooking. I have taken care of my mom for 10 years with Alzheimer's. I also have taken care of family & friends with other illness. I became a Caregiver because of the hours & the one on one help with the patience. I feel rewarded helping people & seeing the smile on someone face makes me feel good that I could help.

I am a mature, energetic yet calm registered nurse, with 30 years' experience in caring for the elderly and those with special needs. I am particularly adept at connecting and forming trusting relationships with any type of person (even those who do not want home help or are initially somewhat resistant, or who have dismissed all the others) and I can help them feel secure and safe. I am reliable, trustworthy, with an upbeat personality and Very respectful demeanor to my clients and their families. I am very caring, kind, polite with a sense of humor. I have worked in hospitals, in home care settings and hospice.

I have been a home health aide for the elderly for nearly twenty years. I enjoy improving the quality of life for seniors. I am congenial, shop and prepare well-balanced and attractive meals, with any diet restrictions adhered to. I am skilled in most geriatric medical conditions, and easily assist with all activities of daily living. I am a good listener and a good conversationalist. I like to interact with those who like company.

I became a "care giver" actually by chance. After graduation from college, I did not immediately have employment, and I met the care needs of elderly family members. I realized that, in fact, I enjoyed it, and decided to further the art of "giving care." Working with clients gives me an amazing sense of satisfaction. Each case is individualized, and each case requires a degree of critical thinking. I feel confident that I am able to "think critically" and to work with other members of the care team to personalize the treatment plan. My graduating from college is a personal achievement for which I am proud. And, that fact does lend some description to myself. I am also a volunteer for the Alzheimer's Association, and I am an avid sports fan and gardener.
