I became a caregiver because I know how important it is to anybody (especially seniors) to get help with love, compassion and trust included. Anyone who I'm taking care of isn't "just a client". I look at my job as an opportunity to show my clients that they are loved, very important, even precious because they really are. I provide non-medical services as companionship, caregiving ( personal hygiene, assistance with bathing), cooking, light housekeeping, running errands (grocery shopping, appointments). And I feel it's worthy to make life of someone who would think sometime "nobody needs me anymore just because I'm old" happy life, full of joy and if they want: fun too! Started working with private client in 2008, worked with many home care agencies in 2014-present. I've graduated from college ( CNA program) in 2014 and became licensed CNA. Was working in Saratoga Retirement community as CNA (2016-2017), SunnyView Retirement Community( Assisted Living and Memory Care unit as well),and looking to get some more hours to work with private client. I've got a great experience helping clients with Dementia and Alzheimer, it's very rewarding to see a positive influence at someone's life . To care wholeheartedly is my priority. Can't wait to hear from you:)

My name is Margaret and I am actively seeking a caregiving position. I have been with my current client for 3 1/2 years but the time has come to make a change. I am a Dementia and Alzheimer's specialist. I am experienced in Memory Care. Memory Care clients are my favorite people in all of healthcare! Though my first pick is with the Dementia and Alzheimer's clients, I have had other clients with other conditions, such as, stroke, diabetes and congested heart failure etc.. In 2011 when my ex mother in law became sick I became one of her caregivers. It was then that I realized how much I enjoyed caring for her. I do believe this is my calling. I was once offered a position as manager of a home health company. I did not think I could do that job. I was right because I need to be the caregiver not the office person. I love my job. I like everything about caregiving. I love my seniors. I love their stories and their laughter. I'm happy when they are happy. I look forward everyday to seeing my seniors. I love cooking, cleaning and fussing over my seniors, so I'm a natural at caregiving. Remember if you love what you do it's never a job. My fee starts at $25 an hour. My fee increases if the shift is split. Also would like employer to pay a share of taxes. I am currently working for $24 an hour but I am not so sure that after 36.5 months it's working. So money is not the deciding factor for me. If you are looking for an experienced Alzheimer and or Dementia CNA , I could be the one!
