Dementia Caregivers in Oil Trough - 8 caregivers found

I love to work. I took care of my grandparents one had cancer and the other was handicapped and had dementia.

Hi, I am a hard working and compassionate person inside and outside of my job. I would like to take a brief moment and explain what drove me to be a caregiver. When I was 16 my grandfather was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. I took care of his needs each day until his final day. I realized that I wanted to help other people who were similar to my grandfather. Although this is bitter sweet, I began working as a CNA in December of 2019 and haven't stopped. I enjoy the aspect of giving people the care they need as well as supporting their family emotionally. I like to ensure that I do my job fully and to the best of my ability. I have worked in long term care facilities as well as working independently doing 1x1 home visits. I would love to take care of your loved ones!

Hello, I am Stephen and I absolutely love my time spend with the older generation. I enjoy spending hours talking and getting to know my clients. Since I was in my 20's I have loved going to the nursing facilities and visiting with the elderly. Caring for the elderly is my passion. Someday it will be my full time business. For the last nine years I worked for one client and she became my best friend, she and I had spent so much time together. She has moved forward to her heavenly home now. I can do just about anything, I have a degree as a nurse assistant, CPR certified, TB free certified, I have had lots of nursing classes, thought I wanted to be and RN, but it just is not the right fit for me, I like a more personal sitting. I can cook, clean, visit, handyman jobs and just visit. I am honest and strait forward. I have the references and background check to prove it.

* I ama very outgoing and understanding person. * I have always loved taking care of other people and I took care of my grandpa until he passed away. * I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know my clients and there family and friends. * I have never been fired by a client and I have never stolen anything from my clients. I do not take gifts or anything from my clients. If they hand my there debit card to go to the store I always have them make a list and I get a receipt for what I picked up.

I am very compassionate about what I do. I take care of my residents like they are my own family. I started being a caregiver when my mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was 18. My dad had to work, my brother was only 16 and still in high school so I took a leave of absence from cosmetology school to take care of Mom. Every person has a awesome story of their life's journey. I do my best to do everything I can to make them happy comfortable and not lonely

I have been a caregiver since I was a child. My dad had polio and my mom had other physical problems so, I became their caregiver. As an adult, I have enjoyed Hospice work, working with dementia patients and working with children. I feel like helping others is what my purpose in life is. I enjoy it and love meeting and learning from new people.

After in-home caregiving for my great grandmother and outpatient caregiving for my two grandparents, I felt drawn to helping people who could no longer help themselves. I graduated a year early from high school to become my great grandmother's caregiver at 17. I was with her for a year before she relocated to live with her two nephews. For my two grandparents, I traveled from my home in Searcy to Portland to stay for approximately 4 months during my grandfather's cancer treatment recovery. Caregiving has been the most fulfilling work I have ever been able to do, and though I have not been a part of the caregiving world for very long, I do intend on making a career out of it.

I appreciate the wonderful stories of a time that has almost been forgotten. I love my job because you are always appreciated. Rarely do you work where you can make a difference as you can by helping others . It isn't really a job to me and I love my patients as if they were my family. I have been fortunate to stay with all my patients to the end --this could be helping them transition to a nursing home or when they go home to the Lord . It has been blessing to work with such wonderful families.
