My husband and I with our two little kids just moved to the east coast in October. Prior to moving out here, I have had the wonderful opportunity of working as a respiratory therapist at two amazing children's hospitals over the last 8 years. I was trained for all the units in the hospital and floated to the various units depending on patient acuity; however, my core unit was the PICU (pediatric ICU). My specialty is with issues concerning the lungs, such as asthmatics, CF (Cystic Fibrosis) patients, SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) patients, and ventilated patients. When I was 18, my mother was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. After 6 months of hospitals, my mother unfortunately passed away. During that time, I fell in love with the aspect of patient care. I wanted to be in a position to help families the way all the hospital care givers helped my mom and my family. For the last 5 years, I have been so blessed to have the opportunity to volunteer at Trails Edge Ventilator Camp. For 5 days, I am able to help 30 different kids (some ventilated and wheel-chair bound but all requiring some respiratory support) experience things that due to their disease/illness may be limited, such as going up in a tree house, riding a horse, and swimming. I love meeting families. I love being able to make a difference in someone's life. I love kids. I love my job!

I am a 19 year old college student and I am studying to be a nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I've always loved being around people and helping as much as I can.

Hello! My name is Alison, I usually go by Ally. Being a caregiver is one of my main career interests, as I am in nursing school right now to finish my bachelor's degree and pursue a career in nursing. I grew up in a big family, with seven siblings (five of which are younger than me), my mom and dad, and my grandmother who struggled with Alzheimers and lived with us until she passed away in 2017. Since I was little, I have always loved giving back to others through care. It's not always what you do, but how you do it and why you do it, that makes being a caregiver so special. I enjoy meeting new people, trying new hobbies (like painting or scrapbooking), learning, singing, and doing whatever it is I can to best accommodate those in my care.

I have compassion for working with the elderly and experience from a young age. I am loving, energetic and clean. I can help with anything necessary. I attend IUPUI and I am adjusting to online school because of the recent pandemic.

I love to help people, and the feeling I get from knowing I helped make someone's day easier. I am a very supportive person, and I'm also a very loving person. I attended school studying social work and I am a cosmetology student. Not only do I love communicating with different people; I am also trained to do so.

I make it a point to treat all others the way they want to be treated. With 16 years of experience taking care of the elderly and disabled, I am a top notch home health aide for you and your loved ones.

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.

Hello, a little about me is that I truly enjoy helping people which is the reason I not only chose care giving but the medical field. I am a licensed pharmacy technician in the state on California and a surgical technologist currently. Currently I have decided to return to school there for I am taking a back from my career field of a surgical tech and would like to focus on car providing to provide one on one excellent patient care and interaction.

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 have given a lifetime of assistance (professionally since 2005) to my intellectually challenged (mentally retardation from PKU) sister of 55 years. Her physical handicaps are that she needs a leg brace and a knee brace to walk and sometimes uses a cane or a walker depending on how she is feeling. Her emotional and intellectual handicaps are that of a 6 year old child. I also gave care to my deceased parents. My mother had alzheimer's, COPD, and diabetes. My father was 25 years in a wheelchair from an accident that left him paralyzed from the knees down. He also had COPD, diabetes and drop-foot. Along with my family, I have assisted many other elder persons in our community to include dispensing of medicines, massaging, cooking and cleaning, bathing, feeding, wound care, transportation to and from doctor appointments, and other services. I am a senior at Indiana University in Liberal Arts General Studies Arts & Humanities, with a minor in Fine Arts. I am a well rounded individual who enjoys traveling, new people, new challenges and all aspects of life. I proudly served in the US Army as an administrative specialist and a training NCO in the 25th Infantry Division, Schofield Barracks (25th Combat Aviation Battalion, Wheeler AFB) from 1979-1985 in Honolulu, HI. I am positive and believe in the good in myself and in others. People trust me. I'm happy in whatever I am doing.

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 am a masters level Social Worker with recent experience with Dementia Patients on an inpatient geri-psych unit. I am looking for a job where I can have flexibility with my hours and schedule. I have a great deal of professional experience in both the medical and psychiatric environments. I am a dedicated employee.

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.
