I am a retired RN and worked for 20 years before retiring early so I am very confident in a caregiver position. Being a caregiver comes naturally to me as I like taking care of people and helping them with whatever they need so they can continue living as much as possible independently and with dignity. After my early retirement in 2000, I became caregiver to my husband when he suffered a mild stroke in 2008, to my ailing mother in law who had dementia and a feeding tube in 2012, and to my grandchildren when they had to undergo multiple surgeries, the most recent of which was in February 2015 to repair a heart defect. Former coworkers, patients and friends describe me to be highly competent, professional, and kind, some of whom are available as references. I believe that proper care, remaining active, kindness, compassion, and companionship are very important to achieve good quality of life, especially among the elderly, things that I gladly provide my patients and friends. Being of older age myself, I appreciate the elderly and treat them with utmost respect for what they have accomplished and are still able to do in life.
