Honest Punctual Energetic Responsible Loving Caring Attentive

I became a caregiver to be a companion to others during their times of need. I like being able to help others and their families. I am proud of being a part of someone else's life as they are unable to care for themselves. I am also a mother trying to support her children.

Patience. Those who provide home care to others need to be patient. Being patient means that the person understands that there may be changes in plans, things may not go as quickly as planned, and there may be a little hesitation at times on the part of the person receiving care. Compassion. When someone has compassion for another they have an understanding of what the person is going through. Attentiveness. It is important when providing home care that the caregiver is attentive to the needs and changes that are taking place. By being attentive, the caregiver, will notice when there are emotional or physical changes in the person he or she is caring for. Dependability. Those who need home care don't usually just need it sporadically. Rather it is on a regular basis, so it is imperative that a caregiver be dependable and show up to provide the care that the person needs and is counting on. Trustworthiness. Caregivers are often in a position that will allow them to have access to the belongings of the person they are caring for. It is crucial that the caregiver be someone who is trustworthy and will not breach that trust by taking advantage of the person her or she is caring for.

In my opinion, What makes me a great caregiver is that I love taking care of people. I am attentive to their personal needs as well as their emotional needs. I became a caregiver because I enjoy caring for people. I believe that all persons should be treated as they themselves would like to be treated if they were in need of care. I make it my I'm to pamper each patient, just as I would like if I were in need of such care. Although I have two college degree, I feel that my greatest accomplishment has been attaining my certification as a Nurse's Aide and my BLS for CPR. With these accomplishments, I am better able to serve others and assist them with meeting their needs.

I started my career in medical imaging; x-ray and sonogram. I enjoy helping people who need a little extra care. I had to learn a lot about caregiving when my mother was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma brain tumor, which required all routes of medical needs for her. I also have had experiecaring for my aunt who was also diagnosed with a terminal illness brought on by chirosis. I am a patient and caring person that enjoys helping others.
