I am an experienced caregiver for 12 years. I have compassion in taking care of the elderly. I like to be a caregiver in the same manner that I enjoy helping and taking care of others. I worked for seven (7) years with my latest patient. She just passed away last December, 2014. She had Alzheimer-Dementia and Parkinson. She also had a G Tube Feeding for 5 years. I am so proud that my patient was able to live comfortably with love and compassion for longer years. She was 93 years old. I am a dependable and reliable caregiver. Trustworthy and Resourceful. I am taking care of my patient to the best of my ability with an utmost respect, dignity and care.

I'm a caregiver since 2007,I feel so fortunate that those I cared for trusted me and treated me so good.Since then I love to care elderly people because I felt sense of being wanted and needed.They are special in all ways.So I decided to enrolled myself In American Red Cross as CNA-certified nursing aide.So i can properly take good care of those individuals who needs my services.I'm so patient and kind,very loving too and understanding to them whom i rendered my services.

I started as a caregiver after I left teaching with CPS. Caregiving has become a passion for me. I am honored to be able to help others. I take pride in having high standards, especially when caring for others. I know how important it is to keep clients in their own home. I love that I can help people, especially those in the end stages of life. I am especially proud to have cared for 2 family members in their last months/years and have learned a lot. I continue to be willing/interested in learning whatever I can. I am proud of everything I've learned and taking that knowledge with me to each of my clients. I treat every client with the same care, love, respect, dignity and privacy that I would want to be treated. Each client is unique and I make sure to tailor my care to THEIR needs/wants. I truly enjoy being a caregiver and think of it as more than just a job; it's a dedicated lifestyle. I choose NOT to get my CNA license because it would tie my hands. I would not be able to do wound care, catheter changes, g-tube feedings and changes, medication dosage and set ups, insulin shots, or most of what I have done for my hospice clients. I have been trained by Drs, nurses, hospice staff, CNAs, wound care specialists, and staff at The Rehab Institute of Chicago. I choose to learn and take everything I've learned to better my client's life, for as long as I can.

I took this kind of job because I have great empathy for the elderly. Being able to give care and support for people who had never asked for help from anyone for anything is an overwhelming and challenging task. I have two roles as a caregiver. The first part is to make sure that my presence is not to take away their independence but to give support if needed and the second part is the impact I give to the family relieving them the burden in caring and making sure that they have the peace of mind knowing that their loved one is safe. The most important part that a caregiver must do is to make sure the elderly live a life with dignity. I believe I would be a good caregiver. I feel comfortable that my experience in elderly care will be of great help to your company. I hope you will consider me as a person not just of my experience but most of all my compassion for the elderly.

Why did I become a Caregiver? I had a personal experience with a family member and had to ask myself How would I want to be treated and taken care of under these circumstances.What do I like about being a Caregiver ? a meaningful role that allows you to show your love and respect for the person even if you don't know them you build a bond with that person. Tell us something about you self ? Im a mother of a daughter whom I love and adore

As a caregiver, I find it easy and with personal satisfaction in helping other persons especially the elderly. When I was working in a residential facility, I made some judgement calls to 911 to take several residents to the hospital for emergency treatment which resulted to saving their lives . I am a college graduate and was connected before in a Marketing Company. I switch to private caregiving since the pay is great and begin to like it. At present, I am working in a facility with 40 resident clients for more than 5 years and looking forward to have an additional part time job as a private caregiver.

I like to serve Elderly people with compassion,love,Care and dedication. I have empathy for there state of mind and respect there feelings. I am a Bachelors Of Science in Nursing graduate in the Philippines and waiting for the date on My NCLEX exam here in California. I have had several experiences with elderly patients. I have recommendations from my former patients.

I am a very kind and compassionate woman. For the last 3 years I have been caring for both my Father and Mother. Sadly, both passed this year. In caring for them I realized the importance of having a totally committed caregiver by their sides. My Mother had severe dementia and a colostomy bag. I learned quickly how to help bath her and change her bag. I fed her and groomed her with love. My Father was functional but very unsteady on his feet. I cooked for him and drove him to his appointments. I cleaned and shopped for them. I am committed to working with families who find themselves in this position with their aging parents. I know from experience how important it is to have a loyal and trusting caregiver in the home. I take great comfort in knowing I played such a crucial role in my Parents health and well being right up to the end. I currently help a 91 year old woman who can no longer drive. I shop for her and take her to her appointments. I brings me joy to know I am making her life easier.

Because I went to school for caregiving.It's my passion to care for the elderly. I love to take care elderly people.I learned to be compassionate,patient,and learn how to monitor his medications to prolong his life.Im a hardworking person with soft heart and full patients.Im health conscious individual.I love to cook also and most of all I'm an honest and dedicated to my job.
