Dementia Caregivers in Marion County - 21 caregivers found

I am a woman with a lovely heart. I love to assist elderly/disabilities. I want to see them happy. I worked as a caregiver for 8yrs and 10 yrs as a direct support professional.

What makes me a great care giver is that I am attentive and I respond to situations in a timely manner. The thought of helping people who can't help them self attracted me mostly to becoming a caregiver. I enjoy it mostly because I am able to meet new people and share different experiences with them. An achievement I am proud of is getting my SafeServe Certification.

I genuinely love helping make peoples lives easier and being able to give them company . My favorite part about working with older people is the conversations we have and relationships I build. I like knowing I can make a difference in someone's life. I am very social and active I like keeping busy.

During that time i started working for a home care agency witch i love. I love caring for people and do my best to keep them in there homes...

A personality trait that has helped me become a great caregiver is patience. As a young teen I got to see caregiving first hand. My mother (a nurse ) , care for my great aunt and great grandmother. Watching her care for them and the manny ways they embraced her is the very reason I love what I do ! Personally the thing that I enjoy most about caregiving is the companionship and wonderful stories. Meeting new people and seeing life from their point of view . I love the fact that I'm helping someone continue to live life independently no matter the circumstances. One personal achievement I am proud of is that I recently decided to go back to school online to further my education. I'd say it's going pretty great

I enjoyed my job and helping my clients

Hello, My name is Precious Yakubu I am a mother of three, and also currently a Student at Full Sail University set to Graduate September of 2022. Growing up, I enjoyed helping around house, doing little chores like talking the trash out, washing the dishes, warm food up, and also helping my mom with baby sitting my younger siblings. As soon as I was able to work, at the age of 14 in Ireland, I got a summer job, helping a lady in her 90s with her laundry, I felt proud of myself, this lead to me getting a community award. When I moved to America at the age of 17, I got my CNA and , every since then I have worked in the medical field which I love and enjoy so much. Taking care, and helping a person in need with there daily activities has been a trait I enjoy doing, I treat others the way I would love to be treated.

Over the years I have supported my husband in his various church ministries. Supporting him and raising our 5 children did not allow me to have a paying job, but it has given me many opportunities to help people in all different situations. I have worked with many disabled and elderly folk. We cared for an elderly man in our home for a short time and I was with him at his death. I have helped in homes with cleaning, cooking, physical hygiene, shopping, laundry, and companionship as well as comforting the dying. I was involved with the care of my own father until his passing two years ago. My mother may soon need my care as well. Years ago, I was trained as a CNA; however, this was before the days of certification. I worked for a couple years in a nursing home and then later in a home for the developmentally disabled. It was very rewarding work, and I was able to use the experience over the years to help and encourage people in our own churches. My husband is currently unemployed, but I still have a desire to find work that would allow me to help people in personal ways. At present I am on a waiting list to take the training to become a certified nursing assistant. I am pleasant, patient, compassionate, empathetic, hard working and honest. I have great respect for the wisdom and experience of the elderly. I try to help them have as much independence and dignity as possible. I enjoy cooking, crafting, sewing and 14 grandchildren!
