Old Dominion University

As a caregiver, I am very passionate about my jobs and strive to have the best relationship possible with my patients and their family. I am compassionate, patient, understanding and reliable with good communication, work ethic, and time management. Being chronically ill myself, I was always intrigued with healthcare and providing support for others in need, but I also have a soft spot for the elderly which makes my job so rewarding. My favorite part about being a caregiver is the bond I am able to build with my patient.

I am a student at Old Dominion University. I will be a junior this coming fall semester. I originally started school at Longwood University but I decided to transfer to ODU. I am a Therapeutic Recreation Major student. Therapeutic Recreation is a form of adaptive therapy to bring individuals with disabilities a higher quality of life the recreation and leisure. I would love to become a personal care provider in order to expand my knowledge of working with clients as well as help others that need it most. I am incredibly social and would be great company for an individual with any type of disability or individual with need for extra care. I have a history of internships with geriatric patients, individuals with dementia, mental impairments, and developmental delays. I enjoy helping patients and clients every day and would love for my services to be spread. I am happy interacting with patients or doing normal daily chores that can improve a clients life.

I am a positive, caring, and kind individual who seeks to help others and make the people around me happy. I love caregiving because Its a very rewarding job and I feel like their aren't enough genuine caregivers who enjoy their job. My first job was within a care home that took care of five people at a time. I went there everyday after school and helped the residents in any way I could. I am a student at Old Dominion University pursuing a bachelors in public policy. I did not get a background check because it costs me $20 and that is a lot for a college student. If you have any questions or concerns or would like for me to get a background check, feel free to contact me and I will do so then. Thank you for understanding. I look forward to possibly interviewing and being a good match for you and your family.

i AM GIVING, LOVING, CARING, COMPASSIONATE, DEPENDABLE PERSON. I FEEL THIS IS MY CALLING TO HELP THOSE IN NEED. IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO KNOW THAT I'VE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE JUST BY ASSISTING THEM WITH A BATH OR PREPARING A MEAL. I TREAT EVERYONE AS IF THEY WERE MY FAMILY OR THE WAY I WANT TO BE TREATED IF I WAS IN NEED. I AM ALWAYS THE GO TO PERSON WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS ASSISTANCE WITH THEIR CARE. I LOVE TO SEE THE SMILE ON A CLIENTS FACE JUST TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS THERE TO ASSIST THEM. MANY CLIENTS KNOW THAT THE CAREGIVERS ARE THE ONLY ONES THEY WILL SEE.

I am attracted to being a caregiver because i love taking care of older adults and just giving them a listening ear!

I became a caregiver at the request of a friend to be a live-in caregiver for her father who had alzhimers, dementia, diabetes, and some personal hygiene issues. When he was placed in an assisted living facility I went to work for First Choice Nurses and became a caregiver for a 76yoa female mrs doumar working 12hr shifts mon-thur, I also was a caregiver for a 55male patient with ALS for about 6 weeks and attended to all his needs for he was bedridden. I like being a caregiver because I feel like I respond compassionately to the patients and their needs and care a great deal about their own feelings. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is having the patient tell me they are glad I am taking care of them and that they feel safe with me. I am 57 yoa and have been care giving for a year and have found that I really enjoy it and would like to continue it. My live in and mrs doumar have both passed away as of September of this year 2014 and at this moment I do not have any patients. I would love to interview with you please feel free to call me and please leave a message so that I may call you back thank you Vanessa sanders 757-353-7158

Hello! I am a current senior in college. I attend Old Dominion University. I have been a CNA since 2015 and it has been very rewarding. I enjoy spending time and helping out others in any way that I can. I like having one on one connections with my clients and I enjoy the company they keep. I am quiet and to myself, but as soon as I get comfortable I am more than just your nurse. The nursing field has been fulfilling to me and I plan on being a RN in the future. Any difference I can make in your healing and upkeep is what I strive for.

Compassionate caregiver capable of working with old/young people; understands/recognizes their needs and feelings. Trained in first-aid, Certified Medication Aide and nurse aide by the state of Virginia.

I enjoy helping and assisting! I want to make sure the patient is being taken care of as if the patient was my own family. Care, compassion, and devotion is what I can offer to show the patient's family and the patient I am there for them and ready to assist.
