Sandy High School

I come from a family of individuals who have dedicated their life to the bettering of less fortunate individuals. A mother who has worked with mentally handicapped children for over 20 years, an aunt and uncle who currently care for and assist mentally handicapped adults, and a cousin who also works with elderly persons to better their standards of living and independence. This instilled in me a sense of compassion for those who cannot care for themselves, and motivated me to join them in this mission. My favorite part about being a caregiver, has been those times when I was able to help share an experience with someone who otherwise may have never been able to enjoy it again in their lifetime. I also enjoy gaining insight from the wisdom that my clients have obtained over the course of decades before me. I especially am drawn to persons who have served in the armed forces, and lived through some of the roughest times in world history. They are the true hero's in this life, and often don't get the attention they deserve. While I recognize that certain tasks involve some level of discomfort for many individuals, such as bathing and even simply inviting a stranger into ones home, I have become accustomed to these struggles, and have learned how to minimize that apprehension, while still maintaining the clients decency and feeling of privacy. My goal is to provide the support needed to give back whatever the client feels they have lost, and give peace of mind to family, knowing that their loved ones are safe even when they cannot be there for them.

In 2014 I started caregiving. It wasn't something I planned on doing or dreamed about. I was in need of a job and a friend introduced me to the position. I have loved it ever since. I love getting to know people and their life experiences. Everyday is something new. All the different care plans and people are exiting to me. This helps me learn something new regularly and keep things from being mundane.

My name is Ariel Bartlett and I have been a caregiver for six years now. I have experience in a wide variety of areas, including Alzheimer's and dementia, nursing home work, rehab facility work, treatments such as ostomy care and wound care, med aide work, and homecare work including hospice and end of life care in a full care setting and light care with transportation, cooking, cleaning and medication management. I feel my wide variety of experience makes me an excellent candidate for you or your family's caregiving needs! I am a quick and eager learner with a passion for health care and great service to the elderly. I will be starting to take classes as they become available in my area! *email and text is the best way to contact me-- Ariel.e.bartlett@gmail.com* Phone calls will be responded to as quickly as possible.

I care about taking care of the elderly ,,I'm a carrying,fast learner,hard working puntual individual.

I love working with the elderly. I did it for 2 years and loved every second of it.

I like to consider myself to be a people person. I'm friendly and easy going. I'm sensitive and caring, I have always enjoyed helping others and I think that is what's lead me to want to want to become a care giver.
