Arthritis Caregivers in Mattoon - 9 caregivers found

Hello my name is Brook Crooker. I am a mother of 2 beautiful children. I am reliable, on time, caring, and very responsible. I am good at multi-tasking. I have been a certified Nursing Assistant for a year and a half but i have been taking care of younger siblings and my own children and helping with my grandparents who both have diabetes and other health problems for much longer.

The reason I became a Caregiver is because my Mother had a Stroke in 2003 and I started taking care of her from then till she Passed Away in 2018. I know what people are going through on a Personal Level. I have taken care of Other Individuals BOTH through DORS & Private Care from 2005 & Still am.

I love helping others who need a little or a lot of assistance. I enjoy the happiness I see in the person's face when someone is willing to do something for them. I have a huge heart and compassionate one. I wanted to help people as much as I could after taking care of my mother after she had 2 strokes. I would do this out of pure love for her and would do the same for anyone else who needed it. I would hope that if I was to someday need any assistance , someone with a loving heart and compassion would do the same for me.

I enjoy taking care people. I believe that this is my calling in life. I believe that no matter what your disability is that there still life to be lived. If there something that you still want to do ,but can't physically there is always a way to make that happen. I have always treated my clients as if she they were my family member with dignity and respect. I have 24 years of experience. It's not just a job for me, it's my calling. I enjoy people & life. I am a registered caregiver with the state of Illinois. I've had a full handprint background check with the state of Illinois and on the registry.

I love being able to make a difference in people's health but if also worked with hospice clients as well and the only difference with that is your job is to make them comfortable

Hello. My name is Bobbie Jo. I have been working with clients.. keeping them home for over 20 years! I love working with this generation! I treat my clients as I would treat my parents!

Hi there! I am a 32 year old mother of 2. I live in Bethany with my 10 year old daughter and 8 year old son. I have always loved caring for others, no matter their age or needs. I find giving yourself to someone else in your profession is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling! I especially have a tender spot for the elderly. As a girl I volunteered in nursing homes my mama was employed by. She's a nurse of 18 years and opened the door to this world for me. I immediately fell in love with providing care and knew this was my calling in life. I am CPR certified, and have performed CPR successfully once after a patient suffered a heart attack. I am also certified in home care, Alzheimer's Disease, communicable disease, bathing/grooming, and transferring. I am able to perform glucose checks, manage oxygen use, take blood pressures, and perform range of motion. I am trained in creating and carrying out care plans as well as shift charting. My most recent patient has passed away, leaving me to find someone to devote myself to. I was with him for approximately 7 years, and the loss has been difficult. After taking some time to grieve, I am now ready to move forward and continue the line of work I am so passionate about. I am a very compassionate, caring woman. ...quick to smile and love to laugh. I am incredibly detail oriented and very reliable. I understand the importance of patience and building a foundation of trust, while giving consideration to each individual's needs and wants. It's never only about what someone needs. What a person wants is just as important, and if at all possible to safely give them that, I feel the effort should be made. My goal is to provide the medical care my patient needs, while also being a companion and allowing them to remain in their home where they feel safe and secure in their surroundings.

Hello, my name is jennifer. I have been a cna since 2004/2005. I have experience working in both home health and long term care. I enjoy working in home health more because you get a chance to really know the client and family and build a relationship with them. Its also one on one so you are able to attend to there needs completely and in a timely manner. I enjoy being a caregiver and took care of my great grandma for a few months in 2005 beforw she passed away. I knew then that this is what i wanted to do. I love helping people and will do what i can to make sure they are taken care of and are happy.

I was around residents during my whole shift. I am not certified but I helped out with the residents more than I was supposed to. CNAs ended up asking me for help. I am experienced in lifting residents, bathing residents, feeding residents, helping with medication, etc. Every nursing home I have worked at, I was never supposed to tend the residents needs because that was not my department, but I did anyways. They are people and that is how they should be treated. I have seen many CNAs treat residents as if they do not matter. They yell at them and treat them terribly. That is wrong and I wish to never see it again. I would like to make a difference.
