Hartwick College

I am 22 years old and graduated from Hartwick College very recently. I am a very caring, responsible and dedicated worker. I always wanted to work in the public health area because I am passionate about finding new ways to help others in need. I was a Hospice Volunteer in college for about 5 months, I was able to see what it is like for somebody who is sick to live in a hospital. From what I saw, it was depressing and lonely. I provided my patient with different activities to keep her distracted and happy. I was able to connect with her over a short period of time and that is what made me feel accomplished. I hope to be able to get a chance to care for somebody and help a family in need out.

I am a compassionate and caring person. I was a hospice volunteer for a year in Oneonta when I was attending Hartwick College. I recently graduated and started working at a daycare until I became a nanny. I love working closely with people and building a trustworthy relationship. I am capable of learning new things quickly. I enjoy helping others because it is the type of work I don't get tired of. A personal achievement I am proud of is graduating from college this past May. I worked hard for 4 years and was proud of my grades. I joined different clubs and organizations that i succeeded in as well.

I love helping and seeing a smile on people's faces. Anything for a good time is worth it.

At this point in my life I am a 20 year old college student. I grew up living with my elderly grandfather who had health issues including stroke, feeding tube for nutrition and leg amputation. This was not scary to be or abnormal, it was just grandpa! When I was in late middle school, my parents opened up a business that revolves around assisting elderly men and women in carrying out their daily activities. I was recruited to help out in any ways that I could as well as fill in small positions for them as need be. This area of work is something I truly enjoy doing, and making the connections personal makes it all the more rewarding. I look forward to bringing my young energetic personality into the lives of these people who may be later in life, but are so full of it.

Hi! My name is Kimberly, I am 20 years old and am a biochemistry major on my way to medical school. In addition, I love to work with the elderly. I have a special relationship volunteering at my local hospice and nursing home. I have worked with residents who can and can not hear and have had successful communication with both. I especially work well with those suffering from dimentia. I have spent a lot of time assisting my boyfriend's aunt who has dimentia and have learned great skills that I have been able to use to communicate with many of the reisdents in the nursing home by my school. I have a gentle heart, a love for others, and will cherish every moment both good and bad that I get to spend with your loved one. I have experience taking care of both of my grandparents until they passed away last year. I assisted in transportation, meal prep, bathroom needs, showering needs, cleaning needs, and especially companionship. If your loved one needs transportation and assistance with doctors appointments I am very understanding of medical terminology and will take notes and be able to relay the information to you successfully and accurately if needed. I understand the hardship that comes with caring for a loved one. It was hard for my dad to not be there to take care of his parents but luckily I had the time and desire to. I can understand the frustration you may be feeling and the trust you need to have someone outside of your family help. These times can be hard but let me not only help your loved one, but help you and your family. God Bless.

I'm a 23 year old undergrad (Sociology and Music double) with experience babysitting/caregiving. I have 4 years worth of experience working with individuals with disabilities. Being a baby-sitter is one of the best jobs in the world! You get to build relationships and experience so many things with different individuals and I truly believe that you become a more well rounded, responsible human through this type of work. Plus, you get paid to be a kid again, what more could you want?
