I am very committed to making a positive difference in all patients' lives that I have worked with. Quite honestly, I think this is the only way I can contribute to the community is to work in the healthcare field, volunteer, and be an excellent support to those in need. I have a few achievements that I am proud of in my life, but the one that mattered to me the most would be able to be done with school this year. I will earn my BA in Psychology Studies.

My personality is calm and willing to help when possible. I like to see if my clients can help themselves before I offer help because it's important to let clients do for themselves when possible. I believe if you don't use your mind and strength you will loose the ability. I've always been a thoughtful person who like to help others. One of the reasons I teach kids, and take care of those who need help is because it makes me feel good when I can help others.

After many years as a stay-at-home mom, I returned to work in 2014 by providing care to elderly clients on Lopez Island. Although I had previously worked as an occupational therapist several years before, caregiving was the only option that I had on the island, one to which I could continue to apply the knowledge and skills learned through my OT experience. I have grown to esteem the day-to-day work with my clients, particularly the relationship that is able to form through the hours, days, weeks spent together. In short, I value each human being and love being of service to others, which is why I have had these two careers of occupational therapy and caregiving. Here is an excerpt from my formal resume: Dependable and dynamic caregiver with recent experience as both a licensed HCA and licensed OT, providing excellent care for elderly and vulnerable adults. Conscientious team member, equally adept at working one-on-one with clients in the home. Contributes considerable insight and skills in the domain of psychology. * Friendly and compassionate, with outstanding interpersonal communication skills * Meticulous organizational skills * Culturally aware * Superior capacity to understand and adapt to new concepts and their correct applications * Innovative and practical thinker * Resilient employee.

With a background in counseling/psychology and dealing with people in all kind of situations it was not a big jump to get into home health and dementia. I took care of my husband who had dementia for 8 years. I also was in a support group during this time and many of the things I learned are still with me. I am a people person and enjoy meeting new people. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with dementia and I am helping her find resources. I have also started a grief support group for spouses of dementia.

My personality traits start with self-care, positivity, and include the joy of caring for others. I am happy, energetic, kind, compassionate and in tune with my clients, and an excellent communicator, articulate and observant. I am extremely relateable, incredibly organized, patient, and flexible. I love to share, smile, encourage, and am extremely proactive and enjoy my role in providing care to others efficiently and timely. I come from a family with medical backgrounds and that attracted me to being a caregiver, minder, case manager. I enjoy the JOY of service and care is the language of my heart. A personal acievement I am proud of is surely caring for a couple for ten plus years and the loving exchange establishe through the care I provided to each of them. It's tremendously rewarding and compliments the feeling I have about CARE being the language of my heart.

Hello my name is Mary and I have been a career middle school Geography and History teacher. I am looking to transition from a career in which I am leaving a job spending fulfilling days with young people to spending equally wonderful days with people who need some extra care and help in their homes. I did a lot of home health care for my beloved mother and have helped many of my friends with their parents since I really enjoy spending time with helping people. I am an excellent conversationalist and I love to cook and run errands and spend time outdoors walking or sitting in a park. I also enjoy taking friends on cultural outings to movies and museums and out for meals.

i AM TRULY INTERESTED IN OTHER PEOPLE AND WORKED AS A LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR FOR OVER 45 YEARS. I ALSO SPENT 10 YEARS AS THE PRIMARY SUPPORT PERSON FOR MY WIFE FROM 2009 TO 2019 AS SHE WAS ILL WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.

I love the more personal, consistant contact where what you do makes such a big difference. I know that helping my parents during the last few months of their lives was such a joy; I'll never regret the time I spent with them. Also,I was able to work with their doctor since I had 8 years experience as a medical assistant. I also became friendly with the staff and other residents; we had such fun sitting outside in the summer months joking with each other. I am a committed and reliable person who loves working with people.
