Guilford Technical Community C ...

Greetings, My name is Olivia and my passion is to create safe spaces where individuals and their loved ones can find comfort, healing, and peaceful rest through care giving and housekeeping. Originally from Vanceboro, NC, I came to Greensboro in 2012 to major in biology. I wanted to find a way to cure the negative emotions that seemed to have become a normal part of our society like loneliness, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and hopelessness. After four long years of interdisciplinary research, domestic and abroad, I still could not find a way to ease the pain of my loved ones or myself. I decided a career change was necessary so I became a CNA and Medication Aide. What I learned during my two years experience in assisted living communities was that the best way to ease the pain of my residents was through acts of love. Also realizing that I had to love myself, I left an abusive relationship and went to my grandmother's to heal. She also suffered from chronic pain and anxiety but was my caregiver for three months. She showed me that the most potent acts of love are simple. A smiling face, a gentle word, a soothing touch, good food, clean hygiene, and a cozy environment eased my pain enough so that I could return to Greensboro and continue my journey rejuvenated. Before departing from home, I asked my grandmother how she could care for me so wholly while battling all of her problems so silently. Her reply was that while she was caring for me, she was soothing herself. "In the instabilities of life, we just need someone to care." My grandmother and I believe that care giving is blissful work and that caregivers have the potential to make anyplace feel a bit more like home. If I could aid you or a loved one in caregiver or housekeeping duties, I look forward to hearing from you. All the best, Olivia the Caregiver

Been working with seniors my entire life. I am very skillful and attentive.

Hello, my name is Gabriela Quintanilla I am a dedicated and compassionate provider of elder care, companionship and comfort for senior citizen residents. I have always had a passion for helping and providing people with quality of life and care. I started volunteering in an assistant living in middle school and decided to get my CNA license in High School, after graduating High School in 2014, I worked in an Alzheimer's Assisted living community, I've also worked for a Home Care Agency for 3+ years and have worked independent cases providing care for residents. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is knowing that I honestly go above and beyond to meet my patients needs, provide comfort and have a practical mind. I love my patients and always put myself in their position to help me provide them with the best care possible.

My mother has suffered from MS since in was a young girl and I always wanted to help others enjoy the highest quality of life with the dignity and respect they deserve . I enjoy making a difference!

Some of my traits that are defined as being useful are that I am open-minded, caring, driven, understanding, and available to meet all needs of those that need personal one-on-one care. A few things that attracted me to become a caregiver are the smiles that I am able to put upon their faces, gaining the wisdom of the senior community about the choices I make in life, and knowing that I am able to help them stay out of nursing facilities and receive the care they deserve while continuing to reside within their own homes. The one thing I enjoy the most is being able to care for them and provide them an opportunity for a better life. The one personal achievement that I am most proud of is that none of my clients have ever had a fall on my watch. I have been able to keep them protected and away from the harm that falls could cause to them mentally and physically.

I became a caregiver because of my love for helping others. I have over a year of experience working with dementia and Alzheimer's patients, and have recently started working in home health. I consider myself to be a prompt and reliable employee because I make my work a priority and try to leave every client/patient better off than when I arrived.
