Experienced caregiver

I am a healthy, active, strong 47 year old woman. I have worked in an assisged living facility, a hospital, and a rehab facility. I have also done a lot of private duty. My longest assignment was caring for a quadriplegic man. I have raised three daughters, so I understand children as well.

I have been in elderly care for 18yrs. From facilities to home care to private care. I am also a hospice trained. I love getting to know my consumers and who they were and are now.

I have been in the care field for the past ten years. I have worked with many populations including folks with developmental disabilities, dementia, brain trauma, mood disorders and schizophrenia. I have worked with all ages except for children (professionally). Art is my main passion and I have made art since my childhood, but as far as job positions, I have always found care jobs. Care is natural for me, I strive to honor the people I care for and am able to build a rapport quite quickly. My biggest joy about caring for others is that I learn an immense amount about different perspectives, experiences in life and get to connect with people that are often cast aside in our youth and perfection obsessed culture. An achievement; when I can truly apply the depth of care and respect that I give to people I help, to myself, that feels like an achievement for where I am right now in life. Helping people become or remain as independent as possible no matter how small a task, is also quite a good feeling.

My name is Sabrina I been in the industry for 4 years. I love taking care of people an I love my dog he's the most amazing dog I've ever had. I live in Maine. Having others to take care of is something I like to do. I also have kids a love being a mom. I'm very compassionate about the work that I do . I'm a certified registered medical assistant and I'm also cpr certified and have my mandated reporting certification also. I have been in the medical field for over 7 years I'm professional and proud of my accomplishments. I need more hours to be taking care of my family . I'm willing to do errands and spend quality time with a client . I'm willing to travel pretty far as long as it's gonna be worth it to do so, having a longer day with more hours makes my willingness to commute the distance so I'm open to travel. I also don't mind short shifts as long as I don't have to travel too far and have multiple short shifts is worth it to me I just need to make sure I can take care of my family my faith and my little girl. I'm open minded and want more clients to actually start getting hours.

First and foremost I'm a mommy to a beautiful little girl. I am patient, compassionate and I listen to each individual need. There is something special about being able to care for someone else's loved ones, I feel privileged to have the opportunity to provide a service that others cannot. I have ample experience working in a whole range of scenarios from 1:1 in home to facility. I have the proper training to care for those with physical and memory care issues. This is my calling, it's what I love to do.

I have always had a compassionate and caring personality, even in my group of close friends, I was known as the "Mom" figure. I always strive to do my best to make sure others are happy and healthy and care for others. I find great joy and fulfillment in seeing others happy and assisting in any way I can. My ultimate goals are to get back into Childcare as I finish my BA in Early Childhood Education and hopefully open up my own preschool some day. I have are experience with both very young children and infants as well as adult care and senior care.

I became a caregiver to experience something new, I like being a caregiver because it is very rewarding to help people. When I started my first caregiving job it was difficult. Working with my client and over a few months I was able to do my job with no difficulties, that is a achievement I am proud of because I overcame a obstacle and I am better for it. Along with caring for people I enjoy art, theater and ballet. I was a ballerina for 12 years. I am also studying human services at the University of Maine Augusta

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others and giving back. What makes me great caregiver is my compassion and ability to put their needs above my own. I enjoy helping, but I also enjoy the conversations and sense of enjoyment I see from my residents. I'm most proud of my recent accomplishments of enrolling into college at 30 years old, for Mental Health and Human Services. My biggest accomplishment is hands down, my son who just turned 2 years old in May. Without him, I wouldn't have half of the ambition as I do today.

I became a cna my junior year of high school knowing it would be a good start to my healthcare career. I have worked in facilities and the hospital setting. I also spent 6 years doing in home care & hospice , which I prefer because u get the time to do better care & get to focus all your energy on One person at a time versuses 5 or 10.You can connect with a person better in their own environment & I enjoy being able to help people stay in there homes when without help it may not be possible. I'm currently enrolled in a bachelor's of nursing program a nd hope to receive my degree in 4 years. My nursing degree has been my lifelong goal & I can't wait to be able to help people in a whole new way.
