Arthritis Caregivers in Shasta County - 24 caregivers found

I have always wanted to help people with special needs; perhaps because I had a sibling who was born with severe disabilities, so I know first hand the difficulties and challenges faced by these individuals and their families. There was very little help available when I was a child, so we relied mainly on our family for the help and support we needed. Back then, there were no respite services or in-home caregiver services. You took your chances on finding a trustworthy stranger (if you could afford one). Now, it is very gratifying to me to be able to help other people who are dealing with illness or disability in any way I can. I like to make jewelry and craft items, and I like to share those hobbies with my clients, if they're interested. Many of them seem to enjoy these activities and find them gratifying. I also love to read, and some clients enjoy being read to, which I also enjoy. I've been told I'm a good listener and a pretty good companion, as I can adapt to whatever my client is capable of and willing to do. I am experienced, caring, and am a retired social worker.

I have 13 years of experience within the home healthcare industry. I enjoy other people's stories and love to care for others needs. I have no vehicle for right now. I do have drivers license and trying to work on getting a vehicle. I do use the bus too get around.

For many years when I was young up until middle school i routinely cared for my great grandmother who was 87 and needed help for almost all of her daily tasks which gave me the necessary experience for a caregiver job. I'm attracted to this field as I believe that I am a very compassionate person and I really enjoy being there for people who need it and I especially enjoy hearing about their different memories and exchanging stories.

I am a licensed CNA and currently working as a mentor to people with developmental and physical disabilities. When I was 12 years old my grandma was diagnosed with ALS and I helped care for her until she passed, that experience led me on to become a CNA and commit to helping those in need with every day living. I'm very open-minded and compassionate.

My first experience as a caregiver was when I was 15 years old. My grandfather was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
