Dementia Caregivers in Dakota County - 147 caregivers found

Hello I'm Carelle and I'd be delighted to work with you. I love helping people and give them a sense of dignity. My passion and love for care giving came from my uncle. He had an accident and was tetraplegic. He couldn't do the simplest task he used to do like brushing his teeth or grooming his beard or even eat. It was really difficult for him in the beginning and we had to step in and help him adjust through the new phase of his life. Through adequate care, listening to him and making sure he felt loved, valued and worthy despite his situation, we created an environment in which he could still feel he mattered. And for that I'm proud. And these are the same values that I apply when I work.
