Columbia Gorge Community Colle ...

My primary concern as a caregiver is to make sure that my client is able to function at the best of their ability and to make sure that they are having the highest quality of life that they are able to have. I am not only there for my client but I am also there for the family (such as: to let them go grocery shopping, are just to be another set of ears at doctor appointments or for the family. After a few days with the client and the family I begin to consider them family. I have a great amount of nurturing and empathy, some say I care to much but I give 150% to my clients and families. I enjoy order and dispensing medication, relating to my clients, enjoy the pass and working on family history. I have no parents or grandparents so my clients kind of fill these roles. I have been a first responder, EMT, CPR Instructor, nurse's aide, and medication aide. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is having a D.N.S. that I work with for a long time trust me to teach new nurse's the medication routine and to be a charge nurse. As a personal care giver the highest praise I can be given is for my client to tell me I must be an angel and that they love me.

I am a very passionate caregiver who truly cares about someone's comfort and happiness in the last years of an amazing persons life. They deserve the absolute best and I know I will always be there for them with my full heart and soul. I look up to the elders and look forward to hearing about the adventures they went though in their life time. The good and the bad. Or just simply find out what makes them smile. I've been a care giver in Hood river Oregon for 1 year and 5 month at an Assisted Living Facility. I just moved to California in June and look forward to continue my love for my career here in California. I am working at a memory care facility in Apple Valley from 2pm-10pm. I am interested in spending some more time with assisting in daily life activity's. I am available for part time during the week. Mid morning and after noon.
