I'm loving, caring, loyal and honest. Work well with other and have more than 10 years of home health care.

I want to take care of my loved ones for their longevity and health.

I became interested in being a caregiver for my grandparents. I was able to be with them until they passed away in there own home. It was hard work but I know they wanted to be at home. I did everything for them. All of the meal prep cleaning, took care of all of the bathroom issues but with respect and lovingly. Tending to them. I'm a mother to 4 children . Lost my partner 5 years ago. Two of my kids are in college and two in high school. I'm able to work many shifts. I have a degree in exercise physical therapy and nutrition .I'm looking forward to meeting new people to care for

In addition to the referenced professional positions I have held, the follow accomplishments are noteworthy: * I was formerly a foster parent to a teen age girl whom suffered with ED, substance abuse and addiction issues, truancy, and physical abuse as a child. * I have served as a health care-giver for 1.5 years for 2 different Alzheimer's Disorder sufferers and patients. * I successfully completed CPI Non-violent Crisis Intervention Training program (Jan 2018). Prior to relocating to the greater Roanoke, VA area, I worked for Home Sweet Home Care, Inc. caring for an elderly patient who had early stages of dementia. I pride myself in my ability to care for the elderly and for youth with special needs and handicaps. I have experience both with the elderly and I have also served in the public schools with SPED students; one in particular, whom I assisted to/from the wheelchair as needed. I am respectful, loyal, dependable, caring, personable, professional, and knowledgeable. Most Sincerely, Cheryl Bedenbaugh

I am a retired federal agency employee, a single parent with children still at home. While they are in school, I would like to help/assist someone in the immediate neighborhood or nearby neighborhoods to occupy my time and do something beneficial for someone else. I did the eldercare in my family prior to having a family of my own. I cared for both my father and paternal grandmother, both of them, while working a full-time job. My grandmother lived to be 102. My father lived to be 80. I did the cooking, cleaning, yard work, driving, shopping, etc., for my seniors, just as I have done it for my children as a single parent.

I'm a young person but I have many ambitions and goals for my life. I am currently working on my bachelors degree and I hope to become a police detective and work for the force. I'be had many disadvantages in my life but none of them have brought me down, it's quiet the contrary. They have helped me become the strong willed person I am. I'm the type of person who will put others needs before herself. I've grown up to be a caregiver, often taking care of my younger siblings at a young age. I enjoy making other people happy.

I am currently getting a masters degree in George Mason University in Psychology. Experience on ALS, dementia and parkinsons.
