Disabled combat vet

I first became a caregiver in 1989, taking care of my foster grandmother. I was with her until her last breath in 1992. From there I took care of my son who was terminally ill with brain cancer. He passed in Nov. of 1993. I started working Home Health as an attendant in 2001 with Oxford in Joplin and then with Independent Living. I moved to another state and worked as Dietary Manager for an Assisted Living facility. My dad became ill in 2009 so moved back to Joplin to care for him and went to work for Independent Living Center from 2010- 2014. I worked taking care of my father fulltime from 2015- 2017 when he passed. I am a go getter done gal who loves working with the elderly or any age needed. I have not worked since Sept of 2017 when Rheumatoid Arthritis took control of me. I would love to work part time preferring the afternoons and or evenings. Mornings are hard for me until medicine kicks in and movement begins.(humor) I am able to do most tasks except heavy lifting, and tight gripping. I love working and miss it so but physical labor all day is impossible for me I am sad to say. Would love to prove that I can carry on with meal prep, household duties, bathing, and numerous other tasks. I am very personable, and compassionate.

I became a caregiver because, I like helping and taking care of people. I like to meet the patients and hear about their life and background. I am pride of my achievement of being a single parent and raising my kids up right. I am a quick learner, I am very flexible. I'm looking for a morning shift or an overnight shift. But right now I'm open with my shift. And I am flexible with my pay rate also.

I became a caregiver because it gave me a sense of life accomplishment, I wasn't doing it as just another job. I love talking to my residents and engaging in learning new things. I am a very laid back person and I have noticed a lot of my patients appreciate that about me. My biggest achievement in life is overcoming stage four grey-area lymphoma. I had grey area which meant that I had Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin at the same time. But I overcame it I have been doing care now for almost 5 years.

I am a very friendly and caring person. I've always enjoyed helping people and I am a very outgoing person. I was drawn to the job because I saw it as a good life experience and it is something I have enjoyed doing before. I enjoy getting to hear different stories that they have to tell as well as what they have been through. I am proud of who I have grown into and what I have accomplished in my schooling and in life.

I feel like I was born to be a caregiver! I love my work and the people I get to work with become an extension of my family. I have a calm, quiet demeanor about myself that has been helpful in this field. I prefer to be organized and get essential things done right away so that we have free time in case of unforseen events or just so we can have some fun! I believe that every person deserves to have a comfortable, clean, safe, enjoyable existance to the best of my ability!
