Kindness, compassion, and empathy are vital in being a caregiver. I feel that when caring for someone's family member it is important to remember that they too were once young, and spry. They deserve respect and dignity as if they were a family member of my own. I have been a CNA in the past, and spending those extra minutes to do a residents hair, or shave a residents face just the way he likes it is so important in helping them to feel like a person. I care for a close family friend now after my regular work hours because I enjoy spending the time with her and helping her with activities of daily living but also encouraging and supporting her in maintaining the independence that she is able to safely have. A personal achievement that I am proud of is maintaining my CNA licensure while working a full time MA job. I did this so that I could continue to work with residents on weekends when I am able because they truly hold a special place in my heart.

Hello! I have been a caregiver for most of my life, and my career. I am a caregiver at heart and find that the most important thing in life is to be kind, work hard and take care of those placed in your path. I have been caring for the aged and those with dementia for over 25 years. In my past, I had a residential care home and an Adult Day Center and they were the best 15 years of my life! Caregiving allows one to be part of something bigger than yourself. Giving of yourself, whether it is a helping hand, assisting someone to do something they can no longer do by themselves, and providing care at a level of compassion and patience that one would expect if the shoe was on the other foot. To me, it's about what you leave behind - touch someone's life for the better.

I'm very friendly, caring, and dedicated! I love helping people and am more than happy to be a companion or keep someone company! I think it is important to keep the elder popular entertained and feel cared for!

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.
