Arthritis Caregivers in Port O Connor - 8 caregivers found

I'm a single mom looking to give back and enjoying helping others.

My name is Kathleen and I have been caring for infants and adults for over 10 years. After graduating High School, my grandmother became ill and needed a full time caregiver. I wasn't sure how I would do but it didn't take long to realize I enjoyed taking care of others. Soon after my children were born I began working at a daycare, so that I would be able to take my children with me to work. I enjoyed taking care of infants and toddlers, but as my children got older and started school full time I decided to apply at an assisted living facility. After working there about 6 months I decided this would be my career path. I took an accredited course to become a certified nurses aide and began working at a skilled nursing facility. I have heard so many memories and stories from my sweet residents, and the joy on their faces make me feel like I am making a difference.

I can help recreate fond memories of the past by working with seniors, as I delight in hearing their childhood stories. I chose to become a caregiver/CNA, acknowledging the dedication of family members. I take pride in knowing I provided exceptional care, leaving clients smiling upon departure and eager to see me each morning.

I have been a caregiver 26 years. I have experience working with elderly and disabled patients. I have learn to communicate with nonverbal people to know their needs and wants. I'm a very compassionate, caring and outgoing person. It's important to me that my clients/ patients are comfortable; well cared for. I became a caregiver due to having a daughter with disabilities.

I've always been told that I smile too much. I'm really proud that I smile too much because it brightens up my patients day. Sometimes they need to see a smile to know everything is going to be ok. I love being a caregiver because I get to help someone. it brings me joy to know that I'm helping someone who appreciates it. Working in both hospitals and nursing centers has shown me two different worlds to healthcare. I have really learned a lot from both. I've learned to noticed signs a lot sooner when something is going on with a patient/resident. I've learned to read people a lot faster on who they are or how they like things done. It really does make a difference when you know what to look for. That's why I wanted to be a caregiver and eventually make my way to becoming a Registered Nurse.

Compassion trust a willing to do go for a person in need

My best personality traits are that I'm very communicative and I listen very well. I like to make people laugh and feel comfortable. What attracted me to be a caregiver is I can give all my undivided attention to one person and it makes me feel good that I can make a person day by being there to help them around there own home. I personally feel proud of myself for making people feel comfortable with what I do and don't have to worry if there family member is being well taken care of because i personally think I'm a great caregiver
