Arthritis Caregivers in Poteet - 127 caregivers found

I became a caregiver due to the fact my grandparents who both raised me both passed away in nursing homes. After I saw the care and how they were being treated, I made the decision to become a nurse assistant so I could possibly make a difference. I feel as though I have, I love what I do and couldn't see myself doing anything else. I'm a very compassionate person with a big heart and I truly enjoy helping others. I'm a good talker but a better listener and will do anything to make sure my patient is comfortable and taken care of emotional, physically, and personally. This is my calling and I have enjoyed these last 11 years doing this.

I'm a very friendly person, always happy. I'm a hard working person, with a great personality. Always punctual.

I am a mature, friendly, intelligent and fun woman. I have been a caregiver to different family members and lastly to my own mother. She passed away in 2008 from Alzheimer's and liver cancer. I provided much of the care as my mother was a private person. It was rewarding and I learned alot with the AD support group. I am retired from a career as a health plan worker and would now like to help those in need of companionship, health plan knowledge for appointment setting, rides to appointments and other chores that they may need. I spent as much time as possible after retirement, at the nursing home where my aunt was living. I spoke of family history, showed her pictures, played her favorite music and took her out to the garden area. She loved flowers. There are many elderly who are in need of companionship and I am available to provide that.

Hello, my name is Margo and i am an energetic fitness instructor and a retired speech therapist. For over 22 years, I have helped seniors and those with disabilities maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle. I also understand the health care needs of our aging adults. I love the outdoors, fresh air, a nice stroll and picnics. I enjoy board games, cards, bingo and puzzles as well as crafts like painting and beading. If you are looking for a quiet caregiver who watches TV.... I can't do that. But If you're loved one likes to keep busy, then I'm a great match!

Hello my name is Katlyn. I currently live in Pleasanton TX. I have been a caregiver since my early teens. I have always loved and got along better with my elders then people my own age it seems like. My current job I am a caregiver and I love all the people I help. They are more then just my clients they are like my family and I treat them as such. I love what I do and I love seeing the smile on their faces when they see me. It's not always about the health needs or daily things they need done sometimes it's about them having a social life as well. I will always go above and beyond what is expected and I'm happy to do so.

I love to be there for my elders and making sure they are takin care of all the time and paid attention to. Theyve been here before us. What has my attention the most about care giving is the thought of my grand mother's presence there with me before sure passed I was like her care giver. I knew her everyday schedule took her baths fed her cleaned up did laundry. And etc

naturally dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy. I love helping others and making change in lifes.It makes my day to bring g joy to others. A personal goal of mine was graduating

What I believe that makes me a good caregiver is the fact that I truly believe that whatever we do in life, it will come back to us, therefore if I treat someone with love, kindness, and respect, I will receive the same when it is my turn to receive the same care. When I first became a CNA I enjoyed the interaction I had with my patients. Then I later realized how great is the need for the elderly to receive care, and sadly not many people are interested in this type of job. So I decided to educate myself in medical related issues pertaining to the elderly care. One thing that I'm most proud is that I used my skills to personally care for my own mother, as well as my mother in law before they passed away.
