Central Carolina Community Col ...

I have been a Certified Nurses Aide for 30 plus years and a RMA for almost two years. I love helping people. I enjoy giving extra care to those who need my help.

Hello my name is Ihilani ( E-He-La-knee) I started my caregiving career with my grandmother at the age of 10 when I went to live with her, after her hip surgery. That is when I knew that being with people during their most vulnerable time was a ministry and not just a job. I believe that no matter what age or stage in your life we can all need help and more important a sense of protection during these times. Mind Body and Soul all need to be nurtured when we are going through health issues. and it brings me great joy to know that I able to help others when they are experiencing medical, mental or soul pain or just a helping hand making sure that the quality of life that a person lives is safe and secure no matter what stage of life they are in. While working with a nursing home... My new patient, would not let me touch him. I couldn't take vitals, bathing was out of the question, he was just mad at the world and I understood. I noticed my new patient had extreme dry mouth and was very dehydrated. I asked, "What is your favorite drink?" He replied,I love orange juice and I have not had any in 4 years. "What???" I look at my new patient and said I will be right back. I returned to the room in about 5minutes and my patient says well this is a first. I asked What is a first? He replies back "That you came back" I look at him and smiled, Sir you do not scare me with a giggle and I have something for you I believe you will love.He looks at me, smirks what could you possibly have for me? walking towards him holding a half gallon jug of orange juice with a straw saying " Your favorite drink Sir." My new patient looks at me saying, I will let you take care of me. Remembering this story makes me tear up. We had a great friendship that only lasted for 6months before he passed, but we laughed, he taught me things and encouraged me in my life's journey and while I only had 6 months with him, when I think of why I love what I do I think about him

I am a great caregiver because this is my purpose, and I love and enjoy helping families. The first time I knew I wanted to be a caregiver was in 2003, two years before I became a CNA. My grandma had Alzheimer's disease. No one in the family seem to have Patience to watch her and take care of her. So I did, everyday all day until she passed away in 05. I few months later I was in school to get my CNA. I enjoy everything about being a CNA. Just the smiles I put on my clients faces and the peace of mind that I give to the families knowing that there loved ones are in great hands and are being treated as if they are my own mom and dad really lifts my spirit. This is my purpose, and I love everything about being a caregiver.

Being a CNA I have found that I enjoy being able to take care of others. And have learned much from my clients during my 28+ years. I have been lucky enough to have worked with supervisors and nursing staff that have enabled me to continue my education in many areas of medical and mental disabilities and new medications. I have taken care of age groups from NB to 104 yr. I've worked in the ER, Vent Units, Nursing and Assistant living facilities, Home Health, Hospice Care and Private Duty. I also have experience in working with young adults with Special Needs. And in each new environment I have greatly enjoyed and learned more than I would have ever thought possible. I also have all Clearances (updated as 11/2017), Physicals and Medical requirements, references and documentation needed to work in the state of PA. I am the mother of 3 grown sons. Love to read and listen to music. Mostly oldies dance music (50's / 60's) and country. Love Philadelphia sports teams. Especially the Phillies and Eagles. I received my nursing certifications in North Carolina, where my family lived for 12 years. I hope this small bio helps you in your search for caregiver. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I have 6 years of patient care in a hospital facility as well as in a living facility. I am currently pursuing my studies in Nursing and hope to become a RN in the future. I am mom of 4 children so that should add many more years of being a caregiver. I enjoy putting a smile on my patients face, making them feel important and loved. I am very proud that I can take care of my dad who is suffering from induced dementia due to a severe hemorrhagic stroke that he suffered 28 months ago. He had a tracheotomy placed at the time which we helped during the time he had it and we are grateful he no longer needs it.

Care-giving is a natural for me. I enjoy and take very seriously assisting my client with their activities of daily living focusing on professionalism, implementation of skills, and quality of life. At the end of the day I want my client to know that I care about them as a person by the way I talk to them and by handling them gently and carefully - not to do any harm. Additionally, I want them to feel that they still have some independence and that their opinion matters. It is important to me that my client's family members have confidence in my care for their loved one. I am willing to go the extra mile to make my client happy and comfortable. I have dependable transportation and am willing to travel to Raleigh area as well as Angier, Fuquay, Holly Springs, etc.

Providing excellent customer service to patient and family, loyalty, and being dependable which are some of the many reasons I consider myself a great caregiver. I'm compassionate and patient to all my patients' needs making sure I communicate with the patient and family ensuring proper medication and care guidelines. Growing up observing my grandmother care for her mother in home inspired me to become a caregiver not only to my family but to other families as well. I wanted to be great and successful at this so I decided to get the proper education needed for Alzheimers and Dementia and how to cater to their needs. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the smile I leave on my patient's and family's face after my work has ended that shift. Receiving my certificates in the health field, becoming dependable and reliable to those that are in my life work related or not.

I became a caregiver because I love taking care of people, being a caregiver is rewarding in that I give care to someone who needs my help to keep their health, safe, comfortable, and a sense of pride all the while making them laugh & smile. I am proud to say I have a way with redirecting clients that are combative, upset, or have Dementia or Alzheimer's. I have been working with clients with these conditions for eight months & have had some training in some levels of Alzheimer's & Dementia.

I have been a caregiver/CNA for about three years now and absolutely love it. I have extensive experience with Alzheimer's, dementia, transfers, ADL's, cooking, cleaning, incontinence, med reminders, and much more. I thoroughly enjoy caring for people, it makes me happy!
