Arthritis Caregivers in Estell Manor - 104 caregivers found

I am an extremely caring person. I am retired after a long career in the medical field. I have worked in many physician offices and hospitals and my favorite part of the job was always when I worked one on one with patients. I have the "it" factor, a heart and compassion. Not everyone does especially in today's world. I feel truly fulfilled helping someone. I would love to be a companion for an elderly person to make their quality of life better and to know that I brought someone happiness and joy.

My name is Lisa. I'm an LPN. I have 7 years of experience working as a group home manager. I'm friendly, compassionate, organized, and outgoing. I enjoy caring for people and going out of my way to help others in need. I'm flexible with my work schedule and willing to travel if needed.

I'm bilingual nurse aide experience with clinic skills, knowledgeable that I learned through my education and on the job settings. The most important is Communication, Empathy, Respect, Patient is one of my trait, compassion and Kindness. Love helping people, listening, giving full attention. In my time as a caregiver, I have had many proud and rewarding moments with the patients, family' patients.

I treat each client like family members with communication and a understanding approach my goal is to help provide the best care I can and to keep my clients informed of what is being done it helps them yo understand and prepare;ie(instead of lifting them up in the bed with quickness I tell them so that they know what is going on.) I became a caregiver by caring for my dieying step father they a few years later I did the same for my mother soon afterwards I started doing free lance caregiving I meet a woman who's aunt had ALS after she passed I was introduced to the woman's niece to her friend who's mother in law needed home care and therapy help as she was in early stages of dementia I cared for her For a few years until her family decided she needed assisted living in a nursing home because of her declining state. At the present I have been caring for a bed bound gentleman who is in a declining state. What I enjoy most is helping care and talking with them sharing there personal stories about there lives and adventures I also enjoy there company being a caregiver is not just coming in and caring for there personal needs and leaving it's also about conversing with them sharing things making them laugh or telling them stories that I have seen or done . My achievement that I am most proud of is helping two of my clients to become strong enough to move better through therapy one elderly client had a broken hip with time and a lot of strength exercises she was able to take a walk with a walker again and the gentleman I cared for his leg had no strength in it now he's able to move it not a lot but it got to the point he is gaining muscle back in it.

I have worked 2 jobs since I was 15 years old. I have always been a multi-tasker and long to do for others. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 30 years. We have a beautiful daughter who graduated from WVU with a degree in biology and is now on her way to medical school. I find taking care of others is very gratifying. I also have a private catering business. Needless to say.... cooking is one of my favorite hobbies along with gardening. It would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to care for someone and have their family secure in my help for their loved one.

I enjoy working with people. I love the idea of putting a smile on my client's face whether it be bringing them a small surprise, a flower, their favorite snack, or plant; things or activities that uplift my patients. I'm very trustworthy and reliable. I have reliable transportation. NOTE: Semi-retired. I prefer to have weekends off or work 2 weekends a month.

I was a CNA doing elder care in Connecticut. I moved to New Jersey to be near my parents and after a few months my Mom moved in and I became her companion and caregiver. I have been doing childcare for the past 5 years. I am a spirited multi-tasker who is compassionate and loving. I can do laundry, housekeeping and cook. I can make a difference in your loved ones life.

I became a Caregiver because I needed the certification for another job that I thought I would be well suited for. I thought I would fair out well as a Lab Tech for one of the local mental hospitals. Not long after I'd graduated from the CNA program and had begun working as a Lab Tech in the hospital clinic, I discovered the hospital was due to close in less than a year ; there were no openings at any of the sister branches. I took a job with a visiting nurse agency as a Phlebotomist / CNA. Although they had more CNA work than Phlebotomy, I needed a job and lacked experience. The job also offered a year long course in disease management coaching and had good benefits. As time passed, I began to work in other areas of caregiving to see what my specialty might be and decided I liked working with seniors; they seemed to have tons of life experience and didn't mind sharing it ( I often found myself wondering if should've been paying them for all they taught me - important things about life I never even thought of !), They seemed to really appreciate anything I did for them. I find the intrinsic value of serving the elders rewarding. Since discovering what my passion is, I've done nothing else.

I am an outgoing reliable person. I am always there for my clients when needed. This is truly my calling in this world. The most important thing from this job is the smile your clients give you when you arrive.

I have been a caregiver for over 15yrs and enjoy helping others with putting a smile on their face as well!
