Good Careers Academy

To know that I'm giving my best to others in time of need is what gives me purpose. I became a caregiver for my mother, when she was recovering from several surgeries, in different skilled nursing facilities. All the while, making many observations concerning the staff and noticing their attention was not up to my standards of what genuine care should be. I knew then, that I could make a difference and was compelled to. Since, I've made strides in obtaining education with certifications; continue with on-line courses to keep me informed with state guidelines and any changes that occur in the health care field...because this is vital. Moreover, I sincerely feel this is my true calling; I find it very rewarding to nurture. I possess emotional and mental maturity necessary for establishing and maintaining a good working relationship with my client and the client's family. I also encompass dignity, patience, courtesy and integrity. Oh, I love to cook! I've been a caregiver for over 18 years. I have reliable transportation w/a Texas drivers license. My automobile insurance, CNA, CPR and TB are all current and in good standing. Thank you for the consideration.

I have experience in patient care for over 5 years as a CNA, love patient care, enjoy my job, always work with great actitud. I treat my patients with respect and love.

I've raised my children and this is what's made me a great caregiver. When I had them I knew what love, patience, compassion, and being kind really meant. I have a heart to assist, provide and give my client any help in keeping their home clean and safe. I will be there to provide a nice warm meal, read to you & keep you company. We can take daily walks and enjoy the fresh air. I have the time to be there, to give.

I became a caregiver because helping others is something I've always loved to do. I like to see people progress with their health and still maintain there independence as much as possible while remaining in their own home. My personal achievement that I am proud of is working in the acute rehab unit in the hospital. I currently work for Baptist Medical Center as a PCA. I'm looking forward to becoming a nurse. I enjoy being able to help people feel better and keep them positive and take care of their daily needs.

I became a caregiver first for family members. I have a great deal of compassion and patience and understanding for seniors who need quality in home care. Caring for the needs of others, service to others. I have cared for special needs adults in a residential home. I am a mature woman who is reliable, dependable, and punctual. I never commit to a task that I can't complete. I love helping seniors.

After the birth of my son, I stayed home to raise him. He started school at the age of 3 yrs. so I decided to work part-time as a caregiver while my son was in school. I was hired in 2009 by a local agency in San Antonio to work part-time . I stayed with the client for over a year. I then decided to get certifed as a CNA. It was very hard for me to leave my client, to go to school full-time . I have a lot of patience, compassion and a good heart. I have always said "An elderly person is like a baby you have care and nurture and devote all your time an attention to the individual". I enjoy working with the elderly, they have so much to offer: wisdom, knowledge,laughter and amazing stories of their childhood. My son is 10 now, I am currently taking care of my first grandaughter who was born in 2013. I am ready to start as a part-time caregiver on Saturday and Sunday evenings.
