Arundel High School

Being a caregiver fulfills me due to my naturally caring nature to want to help others. I took care of my grandfather who was in a wheelchair for the last 20 years of his life. My grandfather needed assistance cleaning and grocery shopping. What was more important than anything was..just sitting with him and talking to him and listening. When I wasn't running errands or taking him to his doctors appointments, we would get his favorite food and just watch a movie. Caregiving is awesome and family needs to feel happy and secure their loved one is being well taken care of at all times!

* Laid back , Adventurous , & Relaxed individual . I'm also a mom of 2 so I'm very easy going , yet I can also respectfully handle uncomfortable situations or behaviors * I enjoy helping others & it makes me happy to see your loved ones with the care they need

My name is Latisha, but you can call me Tish. I am a Caregiver with 7 years of providing home-based care for a wide range of elderly in MD. At my last job I provided home care for 12-15 clients a week. I took on basic medical care, light housework, meal preparation, keeping clients company , as well as a range of administrative assistance. Most of my clients were typically 65-90 years old with a range of problems. I cared for clients with dementia , Alzheimer's and other health issues. Everyday I would assist clients with their daily needs. I Most of my clients needed assistance with pretty much everything, such as, bathing, toileting, walking, sitting or standing, eating, getting dressed, etc. As my experience has grown, as a highly competent caregiver I would bring a service-focused and hardworking attitude to this role. I am flexible, determined, compassionate, outgoing, respectful, resourceful and trustworthy. I love to care for everyone, no matter the age or gender. I have always taken my role as a caregiver very seriously. I strongly believe that my passion and sincere desire to help the elderly makes me the perfect candidate for this job. My background and skills with older adults make me a great fit for the caretaker role that you are hoping to fill. I am deeply committed to treating my elderly clients with dignity and respect. My goal is to win their trust and alleviate any embarrassment or anxiety they may feel when needing assistance with their daily activities, especially with personal care. I also excel at planning creative activities customized to the clients needs and physical or mental abilities. It can be challenging at times but I really do enjoy working with my elderly clients. I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my clients. I am unavailable for overnight shifts or any live-in positions. Sincerely, Latisha

Since I was a little child, I always helped other people no matter what was wrong. I would give the rest of my money to someone who needed it more than I did. My mother always told me one day I would a wonderful provider for others. So as i grew up my attitude towards others never changed. I still was helping other people before my own needs. So at that point i been to think i should just make a career out of thing i already love to do. So I did, I became a child care provider first and for 4 years and than became a care provider for the elderly. I also know i became a caregiver because I love to know that i can make a difference in someone's life. I love when I see my residents laughing and joking. Some of them didn't do that at all and i was able to make them smile and make something of their day. Being a caregiver has it's ups and it's downs, but it's the ups that keeps me going. Being able to encourage someone to do what they can for themselves is amazing, some don't think they can but they never really tired for themselves and to see their faces after they did it makes my heart melt. I am a hard working young women, who is ready to take on any task that is given to me. I make sure i am accurate and doing my job is a timely manner. I work very well with others on my staff and/or team, I would like to know i make a positive influence on others around me.
