Corning Community College

I am a student in my final semester. I have a great personality I have been a care giver for about 6 years. I absolutely love being around others and helping people when I can :)

The experience of contracting Guillain Barre Syndrome with tracheostomy and being paralyzed at the age of 20 keeps me empathetic to the needs of those whose bodies prevent them from daily tasks. I assisted 2 cousins with dementia and after nursing home placement continued as their advocate. In 2009, I retired from USPS because my mother needed ADL care.

Hi! I've been in the home heath field for approximately 16 years on and off. I started in the nursing field at age 15 as a CNA working in a nursing home. I also worked in a Personal Care Home for 6 years. I enjoy taking care of seniors and individuals with disabilities. I love being able to care for others and the rewarding feeling that comes within. I'm a pround mom of 2 remarkable adult children and four amazing granddaughters!

Hello! I am Penny Taylor I committed to caring for my Mom in my home, who had Alzheimer's. I also worked at a before & after school program for kids ages 5-13 years old. This also included transportation to & from their schools to the program center.

I am a young caregiver with a lot of energy and patience. I have experience working with individuals with a wide range of needs and abilities. I pride myself in forming unique relationships and providing essential care. I'm comfortable with cooking, cleaning, bathing, dressing, assisting with elimination and intake, medication administration, transportation, and other basic instrumental activities of daily living. I have worked with people in wheelchairs, who require lifts, and those who are fully mobile. I have experience with Dementia, severe Anxiety and Depression, Cerebral Palsy, mild to moderate Developmental Disabilities. I am an animal lover so pets are not a problem for me.

I became a caregiver to give the elderly a better way of life, and because I love to assist others with daily living things. I love that doing the simple thing can make an older persons day. I like having people depend on me. A personal achievement is me becoming a cna and currently wanting to enroll to go farther and become a RN. Also having two children and raising them, while doing all this. I am a type of person that is willing to do whatever it takes to make the elderly happy as long as its reachable. I am a hard work, I am never late or call in unless it deals with my children which is rare because my mother helps me with raising them. I take up extra hours, I am very flexible and work weekends. I am also a team player, and am open to anything.

Being a caregiver is my passion, since a child i have worked and assisted others. My gift is taking care of people. I have been a CNA for three years and have done multiple other jobs such as Home health aide and PCA along with Private care duties. My favorite part of my job is being able to connect with a person and making their time an enjoyable moment. My personality is very exciting and warming to others, i want to make sure everyone that i care for is comfortable and happy. Overall being a caregiver takes a lot of compassion and ability to feel for another person and be able to put yourself in there shoes.

I have nine years of experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and mental illness. I have worked for social service agencies, as a direct care staff and also as a manager. My experience include bathing, grooming, preparing meal, giving medication, running errands, taking clients on appointment, and teaching ADL's. Since last April I have volunteered in Jamaica with a foundation that assists people who are terminally ill or have a disability. Since I started in this field nine years ago up until now it's my joy to assist someone who is in need. I'm very caring and hard working. I'm currently finishing my degree in Social Service.
