My name is Charlotte Findley I'm 55 yrs old. I worked many years in health care. My aunt, who was Director of Nursing at a Care Center took me to work with her when I was 12 yrs old. I fell in love with the company of older people. The stories and wisdom I would crave from then on. I started volunteering at the center. My aunt said that I added love and happiness when I visited but really I who recieved an abundance of love and happiness from being with the residence. Those are days I am forever greatful for. I found my calling , Caregiving!!! I had a small in home daycare in my early 20s. (back when i could keep up with several whipper snappers -those were the days lol) I have worked as a CNA in Care Centers. I also worked as a Home Health Aide (HHA) and as a Companion/Homemaker for folks in their homes. I worked as a Residential Assistance Tech (RAT) in group home settings, assisting those with intellectual different-abilities live as independently as possible. Though I didn't make a fortune monaterly I certainly feel very rich with many wonderful memories and friendships Ive gained along the way. I haven't worked for quite sometime . I helped cared for both my grandfather's who had Alzheimer's . I cared for my little sister (23 yrs younger then I ) who was born with special needs and required total care. She was called home March 2014. I cared for my dad who had esophalgial & brain cancer. He peacefully transitioned, as he refered to it, at my home in Feb 2015. I help my mom care for my 2nd dad (step dad) who had heart problems until he too was called home Jan 2018. Since then I've been caring for myself and my home. May of 2021 my grandson Oliver Thomas was born. What a joy grandparenthood is!! I am ready to get back to working outside the home again and am looking forward to meeting new people, learning new things, hearing new stories /personal histories and helping folks stay safely in their homes and as independant as possible.

What makes me a great care giver is that I am attentive and I respond to situations in a timely manner. The thought of helping people who can't help them self attracted me mostly to becoming a caregiver. I enjoy it mostly because I am able to meet new people and share different experiences with them. An achievement I am proud of is getting my SafeServe Certification.

Hi, I'm Alexandria! My dedication, big heart & thorough work ethic has helped me exceed in my role as a Caregiver over the last 4 years I love being able to connect with the amazing souls I've had the opportunity to work with so far. I grew up going to work with my mom in the nursing home; playing games, telling/listening to stories & building bonds with the residents. Since then, I knew I wanted to continue on that path as an adult. I've been able to help people in so many more ways than my lil brain could've thought! Helping to improve another's quality of life is the most rewarding part of this job for me[?].

Over the years I have supported my husband in his various church ministries. Supporting him and raising our 5 children did not allow me to have a paying job, but it has given me many opportunities to help people in all different situations. I have worked with many disabled and elderly folk. We cared for an elderly man in our home for a short time and I was with him at his death. I have helped in homes with cleaning, cooking, physical hygiene, shopping, laundry, and companionship as well as comforting the dying. I was involved with the care of my own father until his passing two years ago. My mother may soon need my care as well. Years ago, I was trained as a CNA; however, this was before the days of certification. I worked for a couple years in a nursing home and then later in a home for the developmentally disabled. It was very rewarding work, and I was able to use the experience over the years to help and encourage people in our own churches. My husband is currently unemployed, but I still have a desire to find work that would allow me to help people in personal ways. At present I am on a waiting list to take the training to become a certified nursing assistant. I am pleasant, patient, compassionate, empathetic, hard working and honest. I have great respect for the wisdom and experience of the elderly. I try to help them have as much independence and dignity as possible. I enjoy cooking, crafting, sewing and 14 grandchildren!

I have been a CNA off and on for 25 plus years in both Nebraska and Iowa. I recently chose to do home healthcare because I really enjoy assisting one on one. As a caregiver I am able to really get to know the person I'm assisting. I love hearing stories my clients have told me about their lives before they were needing assistance. I am proud to be a home health care provider because it is a passion of mine to help people. And when I see a client happy because I was able to assist with things they aren't able to do for themselves anymore or just need a little assistance that makes me feel good. I follow the golden rules of dignity and respect for each client. I follow the HIPPA rules also a care plan.
