Dementia Caregivers in Portland - 25 caregivers found

I became a caregiver because I did not want to work in main stream Healthcare anymore. My passion is helping seniors the way they and their family's want to be cared for without Healthcare systems making the choices for their care. I worked as a physical therapy assistant for 27 years. The last 8 were in a rehabilitation department at a skilled nursing facility. I have enjoyed the last 9 years doing private home care as a caregiver. Helping individuals live their lives with dignity, safety and loving care.

Dedicated versatile veteran, thoughtful, professional and compassionate. Also experienced, love pets (sitting, training etc.) and love kids.

Hi! I'm gia, i am a CNA and currently enrolled as a senior in highschool at Lake Region High School. I completed the CNA program at my Vocational school my junior year and have been working in health care ever since. I'm a very easy going type of person. I've wanted to be a caregiver since i was little and jumped right at the opportunity. I love being a CNA, i love helping my clients with anything they could possibly need help with. I love the bond that comes from being in this field. My main goal is to put a smile on anyones face. I am a student in highschool, I'm only available certain days of the week and i have a Cafe job on the weekends as i am saving up to go to college to get my RN associates degree. Becoming a CNA so young was one of the best personal achievements i have and i couldn't be happier to be apart of the experiences it offers!

I took care of my mom for about 10 years until she passed away last year in November I like to take care of people

I am a team player. Very dependable. Have references. Have experience with MS, Parkinson's disease, and alzheimers.

Hello! I am a mother of 2 grown daughters. I have 6 yrs of working in the home health field. Enjoy cleaning, cooking and helping whomever I can. I am a fun, loving, caring person who is very honest and trustworthy. I'm kind of old school but can navigate through this new world that we are living in.

I've been a Certified Life & Wellness coach since 1996. After moving to Maine, I opened my private practice in Yarmouth. And started volunteering at ME Handicapped Skiing (now ME Adaptive Sports & Recreation), & with disabled veterans. For reasons beyond my personal control, I had to close my private practice. So I decided to use my skills serving others in a different capacity, this time focusing on the elderly population in Maine as well as Hospice service. I started as a caregiver with 3 different agencies in the Portland area. After 2 yrs, I 'down-sized' to two agencies in order to get certified as a CRMA. Quite often I am asked to start the service with a new client. Several times family members of a 24X7 client requested for me to be the primary caregiver and to coordinate the day to day client needs. In fact, it was commented that "when Maria is out, things really don't go well. As soon as she's back, everything flows so smoothly." My biggest personal achievement was to be selected "VNA's caregiver of the Year 2016". Ive becobecextended famiky to my elderly clients and hospice patients, as they have become to me. I'm honored & feel priviledged to serve my clients/patients at end of life as well as providing respite for family members and guiding them throughout the weeks/days before & after losing a loved one. My life's journey has taken me all over the world. I speak numerous languages, have lived on several continents, learned skiing at 47, ballroom dance competitor at 49, certified diver at 52., and now plan to get my private pilot's license by my 70th Birthday. Having supported my husband and only son during their cancer journeys, I learned that we cannot take anything for granted in life. We must find our own way of living life to the fullest each and every moment. I'm grateful for all the people who have touched my life. Each and every one has been a gift to me as I have been a gift to them. I hope to touch many more lives.

I have always enjoyed working with people and have missed that since retiring from nursing a few years ago. I love getting to know people, finding out their interests and hearing their life stories. I am an upbeat and friendly person and find great joy in being of assistance to others in ways that improve their quality of life and happiness. I grew up in a big family and value those special relationships. I realize a lot of people don't have a big family to rely on and I'm here to help fill that need. (I didn't see a place to mention this, but I am also available to help with your pets.)

I am an 38 years old black African who's very dedicated, patient, compassionate, attentive, trustworthy person. I had many people in my own family who needed help and assistance. I grew up in an environment that make me to understand what they've been going through and he creates in me the passion and love to aid. Life it's to short and we need to make sure to be there when other needs us. l like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. You take pride in your attention to detail. You don't want a desk job; you like being physical in your job and using your body as well as your brain. There is many achievement in my life but the best one i believe it's putting a smile in my client face.
