I started my career in Health Care right out of High school. I have over 20 years experience. I have worked Nursing Homes, Hospitals, Hospice. With that I have seen a lot & been taught by some amazing leaders. I go into each home with the attitude of this could be my Parent/ Grandparent, Treat them as how i would want my family cared for. My favorite thing about being a caregiver is the history of my patents. It brings so much joy to see them smile and relive there favorite memories of the past. I held my Certified Nursing assistant license for many years & only gave it up when I choose to not work in Nursing Homes. I keep up with all the latest training & have many certificates.

I became a caregiver when I was 15 caring for the eldery neighbors . Enjoyed so much have been doing this for 29 years . Hospice Home Care also . I love people and strive to make my job rewarding and gratifying for my clients and myself . I am compassionate , honest , and dependable . I need to mention that I cannot lift . I am interested in partime , fillins , and overnites . References avail on request . I also have a new vehicle so my transporation is very reliable . I am raising my 5 yr old grandson , so I try to stay doing overnites so I can be w him during the day .

I have a very bubbly personality and I am a people person as most would say. I wanted to get into home health after I expericed it with my grandmother and grandfather when I was very young just helping out and doing what I could. I then became an at home health assistant for my disabled uncle for about 6 months *paid* until his insurance no longer compensated me but I took care of him for years. I enjoy the difference I make in peoples everday life as a caregiver. I am very proud of the person I am today and the journey I've taken to get here. I know the people that helped be along the way would be proud as well.

Hey, I'm diamone. I'm fun,loving, caring and I have a passion for the elderly.

I'm a great caregiver because I love what I do. I pay attention to details and listen to the clients to learn more about their needs, likes and dislikes. I became a caregiver when my own mother fell ill, I took care of her until she passed away in her own home. I found out there was a real need for caregivers and have been working as one since 1999. I learned that the clients were not the only ones who benefited, I too benefit from this line of work. What I like most about caregiver is being a bright spot in thier day, having them feel at ease with me and listening to some great stories because they been there done that. I believe one of my greatest achievements has to do with a gentleman who had a stroke and was bed ridden. All he wanted to do was to be able to get up and walk to the bathroom to do his business. I told him if he would exercise with me everyday perhaps we could get him there. We started with range of motion then received some exercises from a physical therapist he was walking to the bathroom within 3 months.

Hello, my name is Victoria and I am a wife and mother to my beautiful 5 year old boy. I have been a stay at home mother lately and have really enjoyed every part of it. I have always loved to nurture people and animals. My husband pokes fun at me a little for being so attentive but I think it's my best quality. I had the honor of taking care of my grandparents in their final years and I felt it was a privilege to get to spend one on one time with them and learn so much and really get to know them as people . I will always cherish that. I feel I can not only assist people when they need it but also connect on an individual basis and learn from one another and give them the dignity and respect they deserve. I genuinely like to get to know people and I naturally have a caring spirit and value people and I know that is important. And I know what it's like to entrust someone you love to a stranger. You want them to be cared about like you care about them and I feel that I do that without question .

I think what makes me a great caregiver is being very compassionate and loving all my residents . I am very strong willed and I love to make sure all of my clients or residents are treated like family. I go above and beyond for all of their needs will help to the best of my ability. I became a caregiver because when I lost my grandpa, I feel they didn't do their all to keep him alive, so I wanted to helped people as much as I can. My favorite thing about being a caregiver is the things they go back and tell their family. Knowing you do a great job is the most rewarding feeling. A personal achievement that I proud of would have to be this job. It's one of my greatest accomplishments & I will forever love this job and be proud of the change I can make to make peoples lives better and more comfortable.
