Ivy Tech Community College of ...

I became a caregiver at a young age as my mother was a single mom raising me but also caring for my grandmother who moved in with us when I was just 9. My grandmother suffered from dementia and Parkinson's disease so I quickly learn to adapt to life in her life and mind. I am currently pursing my degree in nursing in hopes to continue my education after obtaining my bachelors onto my masters program. My outgoing personality and ability to adapt to all situations allows me to grow deep connections and maintain wonderful bonds.

I love surrounding people with care. I've learned how important compassion and acceptance is for Alzheimer's patients. Using gentle redirection. I've seen how a well-organized day that's flexible can help to reduce agitation. Showers can be scary for Seniors, instead of arguing, I focus on making it easy and fun. Using lots of warm towels also help. My personality is I don't meet strangers and I love everybody. I think my recent employer would say I was reliable and had a good sense of humor while caring for her Mom. I loved working with them for those three years.

I love helping others and that's why I have been in healthcare since 1997

Traveling Registered Nurse

I am a mother of four! I love in home caregiving. I will treat your family as if they were my own. I always try to make things as homely as I can! I'm very easy going, trustworthy, and patient. I have worked with a lot of different personalities!

I've never really been a caregiver but, I'm willing to learn and I can take care and be a good companion.

My personality consists of being extremely empathetic and patient. I'm very aware that at a certain time in all of our lives, we will all need the help of others in some way. Caregiving is an excellent way to develop new skills, learn to listen, and make a difference in someone's life. The vocation of caregiving requires heart. It's not a job, caregiving is a calling. One of the most important caregiver qualities is compassion. Understanding what their patient is going through is of the utmost importance in this line of work. A few personal achievements of mine are when I've been requested by those I've provided care for over and over because they felt comfortable with me and that their needs were being met.

I believe I was molded as a child to be a caregiver I've cared for my grandparents at the age of eight years old bathing them grooming them feeding them Etc. I am 41 years old a mother of 2 son 20 and a little girl 7. I have been a caregiver for the VA for over 10 years and have 12 years of EMT experience. At this time I am a student at Ivy Tech. So if you looking for someone to care for your elderly love one or veteran you at the right place at the right time blessings to you.

I like being a Caregiver simply because I like helping people. I am building my way up in the medical field and I've also always wanted to be a Registered Nurse.

Hello, my name is Ingo and I enjoy helping others live a more enriching life. I first became a Certified Nursing Assistant when I was 20 years old but, I quickly discovered that my career path lie more in Office Administration. When I lost my job in 2013, I decided to enter the health care arena once more but after sometime I became ill with Lyme disease and abruptly resign. I enjoyed looking after and getting to know my client and her family. Currently, I have taken a sabbatical from school but looking to rejoin in the fall of 2019 to continue my degree in Social Work/Social and Behavioral Science. I have an affinity for homeopathic medicines and sharing that knowledge with others in their wellness journey. I am compassionate, trustworthy, logical and reasonable. My inner thermostat is consistently on peace, forthrightness and integrity.

Hello, I chose this field because I've always loved my elders.. I've been married for 18yrs to a police officer and we have 3 teenage boys.. I've never met a enemy.. I get along with practically everyone.. My friends and family would describe me as loving, caring with a great sense of humor..

I became a caregiver because I have been so blessed by my time in nursing school within nursing homes. I love aiding people to be their absolute best, especially our elderly population. I believe caregiving is beneficial for both sides, because they receive aid to be more independent and I am enriched by hearing their stories and experiences. I am flexible, compassionate, and very dependable. I am so excited to help!

Hello! My name is Logan and I've been a caregiver for 7 years (longer if you count my personal life) - My brother has epilepsy and I always was a second caregiver to him as he started having seizures when he was only 8 years old, making me 3 months old at the time. I started young working as a PCA at an assisted living facility and after a year of being there I got offered an assistant managers position at Goldenrod, a group home for adults with disabilities. After being there for 3 months I was promoted to Residential Manager of the two homes I oversaw. I love working with people, putting smiles on their faces and more times than not them putting smiles on mine too! I realize this line of work is difficult for some people and it truly isn't for everyone but I believe that you should enjoy what you do especially when you spend so much time doing it and if I'm helping someone even a little, I've had a good day.

I am a great empathetic listener. Caregiving gives my life purpose. I enjoy the relationship with clients.

I believe I am a great caregiver because I am very patient, also very compassionate. This helps me truly connect with the patient in my care and see what they need assistance with. A great caregiver has an emotional connection to their work, and enjoys spending time with the people they care for and for me that is my favorite part of the job.

I love to help people. It gives me great pleasure knowing I'd help someone. I have experience in prepping meals, room preparation, transportation, helping with setting appointments, and honestly being a great person and actually caring about the individual and having a friendship. I'm very proud of myself for helping mothers and fathers getting stable income and getting them off the streets and being able to provide for their families.

Hi. My name is Yvonne but I go by Kathy. By nature I am a nurturer. I like to help people especially to the one's who need it the most. My mother was a caregiver. I remember at a young age going with her to her jobs. I thought it was so exciting going and listening to the people she cared for telling me stories of their lives. Today I am still intrigued with the same. When my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer I fully understood the importance of helping her. She needed me and that was where I was going to be. I had to be very patient and give her the best quality of life that she had left. Which is why my heart and soul goes into my job. Because helping someone else always helps me grow as a person.

I am a very helpful person ,understanding & trustworthy . I've always been interested in helping others . Just seeing people happy makes the job worth it
