Cancer Recovery Caregivers in Choctaw County - 5 caregivers found

I am a very friendly, spunky, and outgoing person. I am very empathetic, dedicated, passionate, and loyal. I devote my life to serving others-- in any capacity that I possibly can. I attended nursing school at University of West Alabama for two semesters. During my time in nursing school, I worked in a hospital, offering varying levels of care to patients of various demographics. I also took pharmacology and psychology classes during my time in nursing school. I have quite a bit of experience caregiving for injured/ill relatives as well. I was solely responsible for my close relative's at-home care after they were involved in an accident at work where they were backed over by a motor vehicle, leaving them completely unable to perform routine tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and bathing. I have experience administering medications, performing personal care for patients, observing patient's habits, and recording patient data. I have also previously been CPR certified. I am attracted to serving as a caregiver because I believe that everyone deserves to live their best, happiest, healthiest life, and I have skills and traits that make me perfect to help others achieve that life while simultaneously filling me with a deep sense of satisfaction and purpose. Caregivers are not often given as much credit as they deserve for all of the behind-the-scenes work they do, but I am quite aware of how important their roles are in other individuals' lives and in society as a whole. Caregiving is incredibly rewarding to me in many ways, but I most enjoy the personal relationships I get to form with those that are on the receiving end of my care and/or their loved ones. Every day that passes brings me a new achievement to be proud of-- every time I touch and positively impact the life of another individual, I am filled with gratitude and joy.

I started caregiving with my parents. Mother was diabetic and father had Alzheimer's. I helped my sister with her husband. Then two aunt in their old age both 90 plus years.
