Hi, My name is Dee, I've been a CNA for years by now, I have experience in home health and nursing homes as well. I love to help people in need. Thank you,

I was a caregiver to a quadriplegic professor when I was in college to help pay for my tuition. After college, I continued doing private care on the side for some Alzheimer patients at a nursing home. In 2004, I enrolled at a nursing school for a year and a half. I did not finish my degree, but I did receive my certification as a CNA and as a Medication Technician. I keep up to date with the newest discoveries and findings in the world of medicine. Even though I have not had any new medical training, I am current on my knowledge of diseases, medications and side effects of such medications. For instance, I am aware that when you care for an Alzheimer's patient, you step into his/her world, and not insist that he/she conforms to your expectations of what is real. I am compassionate and capable. All of the kids are either all grown or almost grown, but I still have this vast need to nurture. My husband refuses to be smothered, so, I need to go out of the house and find someone else who would appreciate being cared for :-) My kids are my biggest accomplishment. The eldest is going to medical school this summer, and the middle one is attending UMKC in August. The youngest one is doing great as a Sophomore while giving out just enough sass to maintain her teenage status.

Growing up I have always been very interested in helping people for their daily living. I am kind, gentle, and very compassionate person. What attracted me to being a caregiver was generally to help people and advocate for people. What enjoy most about being a caregiver is to be able help people in their sickness and you see how their health improves. One of my personal achievements is to be able to graduate from school, proud of that.

What makes me a great caregiver is that my passion has always been to take care of people. It is something that comes natural to me. I was a medical assistant for 20+ years and one of my favorite roles was being a patient advocate and just being able to do what the patient needed to make their day easier for them. I have an upbeat personality and I am a great listener.

I am a very outgoing person and enjoy taking care of individuals who need it. I love helping with quality of life and individuality. I enjoy being a caregiver because I am very passionate about helping clients live there lives to their fullest ability. Being a caregiver makes me happy and content in my career choice, knowing that I'm able to assist someone who needs it. I have worked in healthcare for 4 years and am currently in nursing school to continue in the career I love the most.

I became a caregiver because I believe we all deserve quality care in times of sickness and end of life. I have been a licensed care giver since 2006 but my first job in health was in 1999. I am CPR certified and I currently have an EMT license as well as a CNA. I am experienced in almost all area of care. I would love to take care of your loved one in your home.

I'm not sure what led me to start my first job at Heartland Residential Care but that was were I found my nact and love as far as a job. U found it so rewarding to be able to help someone whom without me couldn't do it themselves. But in 2010 I got breast cancer. And as I was going thru the process of treatment, I was so sick but I had no one to help care for me. I realized how important just how wonderful it would have been to have a little help. So now I've been cancer free soon it will be six yrs. I have #1 realized how important it is to have someone whom you can depend on and #2 I feel I beat cancer and it's time to make my life count. If I can just help one person out there that needs a helping hand. Whether it is maybe cooking them a meal, cleaning the floors or just be an ear for someone to talk to. I want to be able to come home from my workday feeling that just maybe I've made a difference in someone's life that day. It's a satisfaction that I just can't explain.

I have always had a passion to work in the health care field. I love being able to help. If I can be of help to keep your loved one in their home I think that's wonderful. I am very dependable and reliable. I develope relationships with my clients and then of them as family. When taking care of your loved on I always think of how I would want my loved one treated and taken care of.
