Dementia Caregivers in Shasta County - 36 caregivers found

I have always wanted to help people with special needs; perhaps because I had a sibling who was born with severe disabilities, so I know first hand the difficulties and challenges faced by these individuals and their families. There was very little help available when I was a child, so we relied mainly on our family for the help and support we needed. Back then, there were no respite services or in-home caregiver services. You took your chances on finding a trustworthy stranger (if you could afford one). Now, it is very gratifying to me to be able to help other people who are dealing with illness or disability in any way I can. I like to make jewelry and craft items, and I like to share those hobbies with my clients, if they're interested. Many of them seem to enjoy these activities and find them gratifying. I also love to read, and some clients enjoy being read to, which I also enjoy. I've been told I'm a good listener and a pretty good companion, as I can adapt to whatever my client is capable of and willing to do. I am experienced, caring, and am a retired social worker.

Hi, my name is Toyla and it is my passion to care for others. I have worked for many families privately over the years. I have also provided care in an assisted living environment. It is a very genuine bonding time and I love every new experience.

I enjoy helping others, I understand as people age they may need some help with things that they cannot do for themselves any longer. I am compassionate, caring and a good listener. I like to make someone's day, even if it is in a small way. I have worked with many different types of people and I always try to make a good connection with each one. I like to get to know my clients, what they enjoy doing, their family, what they did for a living. I try to make each visit a great one.

I have become a caregiver do to my family. I have taken care of multiple kinds of people from people with disabilities like Parkinson, CP, dementia, alzheimers, and more as well as thoughs without.

For many years when I was young up until middle school i routinely cared for my great grandmother who was 87 and needed help for almost all of her daily tasks which gave me the necessary experience for a caregiver job. I'm attracted to this field as I believe that I am a very compassionate person and I really enjoy being there for people who need it and I especially enjoy hearing about their different memories and exchanging stories.

I show both empathy and compassion. I let let the person I am are caring for know that I care about the person and want to do what they can to help them. Most importantly, I have patient and understanding. It helps to sometimes put yourself in the other person's shoes and see what it might be like to ask people for help. I'm very reliable and trustworthy. I am prepared to go with the flow, being flexible, so that I continue to provide good home care, even if a rigid schedule isn't being followed.

I am a licensed CNA and currently working as a mentor to people with developmental and physical disabilities. When I was 12 years old my grandma was diagnosed with ALS and I helped care for her until she passed, that experience led me on to become a CNA and commit to helping those in need with every day living. I'm very open-minded and compassionate.
