Arthritis Caregivers in Prattsville - 8 caregivers found

What makes me a great caregiver is that I pay attention to details. I do exactly what I'm told, asked and also give advice according to my expertise and I tell the truth about what is needed when it matters. I first started working with elders within my monastery taking care of their basic needs and taking them back and forth to doctor's appointments and following their doctors care of plan. That transmitted to my professional work life as a certified nursing aide, as I work in the nursing homes and also in private home settings. It brings me joy to see those who are in need of help receive the assistance that they need without taking away their dignity and also giving them the extra help that's necessary.... at the same time allowing them to do what they can for themselves. I have a broad range going from helping those with terminal illnesses all the way to those who just need extra assistance around the house. There is no job too big or too small for me to do.

I learn who they are, where they are from, what they like, and what they believe in. And from there I respect all their wishes and do everything I can to ensure they are happy and well taken care of. I am very hard working. I do not mind doing anything that is needed of me.

As the mother of two teenagers with extra needs and the wife of a disabled veteran, caregiving is part of my everyday life. I held my Home Health Aid certificate at one point in a nursing home but eventually changed to private care due to the lack of compassion and communication that large facilities provide. I eventually decided to return to college and recently graduated with my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education: Child & Family Services. During my time at SUNY Cobleskill, I also had the opportunity to be the team lead for the Generations Together Respite program. The program was geared towards individuals with dementia and their families working with preschool children in a coordination of care.
