COPD Caregivers in Ripplemead - 14 caregivers found

I began my fascination with healthcare as a child. I would polish my grandmother's white nursing shoes for her in the mornings as she was getting ready for work. She worked as a CNA at a nursing home in Lexington, VA. I remember looking at her and thinking I want to be just like her when I grow up. So as an adult I received my LPN and worked 18 years in Critical Care roles as well as skilled nursing home units in Roanoke and Martinsville to honor her memory. I've spent most of my life taking care of people because that is my passion and what I'm most proud of.

I have been a caregiver going on thirteen years! I love every second of it.. It's nothing like seeing the joy on someone's face who is in need of care, or that extra care and support. I enjoy knowing my work is appreciated and it's needed.. I never saw myself in this field as a child. As I proceeded to get older and seeing the old or young in need of help it made my heart ache for them. I just pray that in my golden years I find the same care of joy and compassion the same as I enjoy to give to others..

I became a caregiver because I enjoy making someone else smile and feel that they matter. Spending time with others who may not have family local gives them the sense of purpose, understanding, and love. I enjoy listening to their stories of the past, reading to them, playing games to keep their minds sharp, or just getting them out of the house for a walk or running errands. I believe that everyone wants to stay as independent as possible when they age, so being there for moral support or help with everyday tasks is essential to their state of mind.

I really enjoy taking care of those who have takin care of so many others! The career path I have chosen in home health care directed towards seniors is truly my passion!! I take great pride in this line of work!

I am a nursing student and certified nursing assistant. I used to work at a nursing home and now work at Carilion NRV part time. So if you need someone to be a companion or caregiver part time, I believe that I'm the right choice! I have always loved helping people. I find great joy in being able to assist someone in a task or being able to see a smile on their face. I enjoy getting to know the people that I'm helping take care of.

I am geat person, with a amazing personality I have golden heart love hard, I can get along with almost anyone. I'm very outgoing hard working. Most people tell me no matter what may be going on I'm always wearing a smiling that is true. Life is to short to wear your heart on your sleeve. It's good to encourage uplift others. In 2004 my father n law call asked me would like to care and watch for his brother n law he wasn't doing to good in health wise, his wife was a school teacher, couldn't do it alone, they had a nurse also who would come and do there duties to. I'd watch as she did her job to get a few pointers and learn different skills. As I went to work every day I started to love my job more the bonding and listening to the clients you learn so much seeing the glow on there faces and smile gives you reassure that everything is good ok..when he passed I continue on making caregiving my career it's my passion I love it and wouldn't trade it for the world..

I'm grateful to be a caregiver! especially thankful to those who trust me enough to care for their a love one. I have dedicated my time thirteen years now in this field. I wouldn't change it for the world. It brings joy helping others, I use to only want this career to only follow in my family's foot steps. I see now it's for the love, and passion, the joy of helping those who are in need. I pray one day someone will feel the same about me. Im outgoing, compassionate. Patient, and very understanding. I have many many skills I have developed over the years, Hospice, Feeding Tube, Dementia, sundowners, and etc...
