Arthritis Caregivers in Gloucester - 84 caregivers found

I have been involved in healthcare since the age of 15 , starting as a "candy striper" volunteer and worked in many areas of the hospital until of age to work in Emergency Medicine. I have been an active EMT/ Paramedic with both volunteer and career departments and taken part in evaluating home safety checks for residents. As a healthcare professional, I have worked in various hospitals and am very knowledgeable in diseases, aging process and treatments. I have a soft heart for our Veterans with several Veteran family members. I love people and enjoy conversing with elders that have so much to share.

I consider myself a great caregiver because I go above and beyond to make sure my residence get the best care. I have a kind heart and plenty of patience and I have the desire to help those that are in need. I love to make my residence happy, comfortable and I love to see them smile. One of my personal achievements was being there by my grandmothers side while she was diagnosed with dementia and making every moment a special one.

I have been a caregiver since I was young received my certification in 1996 and still have it in CNA (25yrs) and also have my RMA (11yrs) I have some training of PN I have a lot of gifts in the medical field

I think what makes me a great caregiver is I love helping people. I enjoy seniors the most because they usually have great stories. I am a mother of three adult children and a grandmother to four grandchildren that I help care for. I have taken care of my great grandfather and my mother when they were ill, towards the end of their life. I know how much it meant to them to be comfortable as they could be in the comfort of their own home. Everytime I care for someone, I always keep that in mind. I pray that if I am blessed to grow old, I hope that I am cared for the same exact way. I have taken quite a few Alzheimer's and dementia classes, for better understanding of the disease. I have worked with a few seniors dealing with this. I am more of a Caretaker/ Companion, meaning I'm there to help your loved to stay as independent in their own home as they can possibly be. I cook, do light housekeeping, laundry, errands and grocery shop, help with medication reminders, help with grooming and getting dressed. I help with pretty much anything that needs to be done.

I became a caregiver 22 years ago when (at that time) my mothers employer was looking for a 'fill-in' person. I gave it a try and absolutely fell in love with what I did! I love being a caregiver because I find great joy in helping others!! I have worked with a lot of Seniors and I have helped them to be able to stay in their homes! I have a passion for helping others! I am a very energetic, trustworthy, reliable and caring individual!! I am able to provide great references upon request!!

I love helping people and I want to be a nurse so this helps me as I go forward.

Ive been a CNA for 20 yrs, received my license in North Carolina in 2001 and in Virginia in 2009. I believe the most important thing that makes me a great CNAs is patience and understanding. The reason why I became a CNA is I find joy in the elderly. They are knowledgeable, they make you laugh,and you can learn alot from them. I get great joy in seeing the smiles on their faces because they're pleased with me.

Fun, caring, and dependable! I love to help others and enjoy putting a smile on someone else's face!

Hello, I am a very compassionate person, dependable, great listener, respectful with my clients and their values, very kind, punctual, hard worker, with a great attitude. I love and enjoy helping people, when and where they more need. Being a CNA, was the greatest decision, I have made in my life, because my dream came through; since I was little I liked to help people. I gave a lot to my clients and more than anything, a handful of help, understanding, passion, love and a great smile in my face, every time when I arrive to their homes, but not only I give them, but I also receive many things back in return. Another big smile, and thanks, for everything I do for them. There is not a better feedback that their appreciation for my hard work and commitment. I remember hearing this expression from my last client "Maxi you make my days. I am so happy when I see you in my door", The services I can provide to you and your loves one are: company and conversation, helping recovery from surgeries, fall prevention, medication reminder, light cooking and housekeeping, laundry, errands, driving to Dr. app., assisting in activities of daily living, shower or bath, walking, and many more as needed. I have many skills and more than five years of experience in this field and can provide certifications and great references. I also have fingerprint card and CPR certification. I am looking forward to hear from you soon. Thank you, Maximina

I am.a.loving caring person and I like taking care off people
