Alzheimer's Disease Caregivers in Liberty County - 21 caregivers found

I am enthusiastic and enjoy working with the elderly. I am a loyal and faithful companion. I was first attracted to caring for the elderly through my grandmother who simply needed someone to understand. I have taken care of my grandmother my mother and many elderly since then. What I enjoy most about caring for the elderly his to give them a reason to smile, laugh and be happy in their own environment and being their own selves. Some of my personal achievements that I am extremely proud of was a dementia patient who no longer enjoyed painting and with my enthusiastic caring she started painting again. Another elderly lady with Alzheimer's who had forgotten that she loved the outdoors and to walk for exercise. We started sitting on her front porch enjoying the birds and butterfly's and walking down the road for exercise. She even challenged me to a race, LOL. Then another was afraid to take the escalator, she was afraid she would fall. With no other way out, I helped her walk right onto it with no trouble. There was a gentleman that had not fed himself in many years, with my encouragement he was eating by himself again with no assistance. These are just a few of the accomplishments with the elderly that I am thankful that I was able to Help with and Witness.

I am very loving and caring. I love to care for ones in need. It is my pleasure to help, build a relationship and make them comfortable. The ability to be there in a time of need is so important and motivating to me.

Hi! I'm 23 years old with 8 years of caregiving experience(5 of those years being work experience). I'm very people oriented and I love helping out where I can! I became so passionate about being a caregiver when my great-grandmother got sick from cancer. It gave me a different outlook on life and I instantly made the decision that I wanted to care for others. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the rewarding feeling you get when you're able to just simply help someone, rather it be companionship or being more hands on.
