Washtenaw Community College

Hello all! I have over 10 years of experience as a HHA/Direct Care Specialist. I am currently a student at WCC working on my Healthcare Preparations Certificate. I am planning on applying for the Nursing program at the institution for the winter session. I work part-time at an assisted living facility. I love helping anyone in need, I always have. I have a special affinity to the elderly and children because I know they are usually the most abused/neglected age groups. I put the needs of my residents first and care for them as if they were my own family.

I have been in the healthcare field for over 15 years, my grandma was a nurse at U of M for 45 years. I remember as I child I wanted to be just like her. I love helping others it is my passion, but I believe it is just as important as well to promote independence at the same time. I am pet friendly, I am a mother of a beautiful 5yr old daughter. And I will always go above and beyond for your loved one.

I'm a very hard worker I make sure my clients/residents get the best care. I'm always there to listen an learn knew things. I'm also a Certified Nurse Assistant by the state of MI

I am a great caregiver because I am good at communicating changes with patients that may not understand what's happening. I enjoy helping those that can not help themselves and being kind and compassionate everyone when help is needed or not.

I have great compassion for our elders & those in need of great care. I understand that families would want someone to treat their love ones as well as they would. I aim to care to the best of my ability.

The most important thing that makes me a great caregiver is that I love what I do. I became a caregiver because my mother and grandmother needed care. So I ask myself," How would I want someone to care for them if I weren't around to do it? Or how would I want to be taken care of myself?" Being of service to others who need compassionate care, and knowing that I made a difference in the quality of someone else's life by being there is what I enjoy most about being a caregiver. One of my personal achievements is with my knowledge and education, I was able to train all of my fiance's CENA's and give them more knowledge than what they came with. In order to care for him properly, so that I can go back to work outside of home.

I work in the caregiving for four years 2023 I became interested when my mother had a stroke and it paralyzed her a little bit on the left side so me and my siblings teamed up and we helped her we help with the exercise we made sure that she got back and forth to the doctor's appointment we cooked for and now today she is able to use her left side not like she used to but she's able to go on the home and cook after that I figure I could be a great help to someone else

My name is Amber Ellington, I have been working in the home Healthcare field and Caregiver position for many years. I enjoy helping those that can not do for themselves. Working in this field has shown me a lot about what individuals go through as they become older.

I became a healthcare companion while working my way through college. I love helping people and I'm a very warm and compassionate person. I believe in integrity and ensuring a dignified quality of life. I treat my clients as if they were family members.

I am a great caregiver because I pay attention to detail, I assist in a way that allows the client to help me to help them. I always make sure the individual being assisted is comfortable and reassured with the care I provide. I became a caregiver due to my need to help others in need. I've been a caregiver for 15yrs. I am a certified Nurse Assistant and I do plan to continue my education in Nursing.

I have been in the healthcare field for over 4 years now and I truly enjoy what I do, it has become a filed that I am very passionate about.

I love being around people and I love animals.

My great grandmother raised me which is one of the biggest reasons I started my career in caregiving. I love the wisdom of elderly people which keeps me coming back to being a caregiver no matter where I go.

My name is Catherine and I am a CNA. I became a caregiver because I love to help others and it gives me a rewarding feeling. I am going to school for my LPN and being a CNA is giving me wonderful experience to learn how to give the best possible care!

I believe what makes me such an awesome caregiver is how passionate I am about my work. I am passionate about my work because I love what I do. At this current point in my life I am a student at Washtenaw Community College studying Communications. I have dreams of speaking on behalf of people who feel as though they have no voice. I want to be the voice of my community and do what it takes to make a positive change for current generations and generations to come. I feel as if I am an exceptional communicator! love forming close interpersonal bonds with people, I find it fascinating to exchange experiences and life lessons. Those pure conversations help shape my own perspective of life. I am a young free spirited individual. In my spare time I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen (preferably baking), watching movies (funny ones of course), journaling, and most of all traveling. I have made my way to twenty-two out of all fifty states. I have hopes of visiting each one then venturing out further once I have reached my goal. Traveling is one of my most proud achievements thus far in my life. It may sound a bit odd, but I truly believe that you can learn more from other people and cultures than you can from yourself. I have learned so much along my journey and have met so many amazing people in the process. I hope to be placed with a sweet family who allows me the opportunity to not only learn from them, but they can learn from me as well. I look forward to receiving a message from you! -Elizabeth
