Cayuga County Community Colleg ...

Hello :) I am a positive, encouraging individual with patience and compassion. I love working with people, and want the person I'm working with to be happy and comfortable. I have years experience working with children, seniors, and adults with developmental disabilities.

I am a certified Home health aide with many years experience in care giving. My philosophy is to treat all clients as if they were my own family. Compassion, patience and punctuality are my strong points. I have great energy and like keeping busy. My family is large, I have 8 children-so there isn't much I have not experienced..or cleaned up! :). Quality references provided.

I am now available from 2 am to 7 am starting Monday after midnight and ending at 7 am on Fridays, or I am available from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm Mon through Friday. I have always wanted to give the best quality care to the elderly, they should be held in high regard and with deep respect. I am also very willing to help any one of any age, to know I am making them feel better, and if I cant physically, that I can cheer them up mentally. Even though the pay is not high, the idea of what I am doing for another is rewarding. I have been am manager and secretary but have always wanted to be a caregiver. I like to cook healthy meals and watch my patient start feeling better just by changing her eating patterns if willing. I enjoy bathing my patients as I know how clean and better it will make them feel. I love to hear the stories of days of old. I love when my patient tells me, " What would I do without you."

I became a caregiver because I truly enjoy working with people and making a differnce in their lives. As well as a caregiver I am also a CNA and a Restorative nursing assistant RNA. I am very proud of the fact that I have helped many individuals achieve the goals they have set.
