* What are your personality traits or expertise that help you be a great caregiver. I enjoy interacting and investing time in the clients hobbies and interests. I have given all levels of care, from elderly (including but not limited to Dementia) to disabled, and TBI individuals. I have been a medication technician in several previous postions, as well. * What attracted to you being a caregiver? The diversity of the clientele and the needs they have. I find that I easily connect with the people I work with because I listen and can adapt to each individual and their needs. * What do you enjoy most about being a caregiver? Spending quality time and making my clients feel as independent as possible. Such as achieving goals, running an errand, making a meal together or even something small. If it makes them smile and helps them that means the world to me because I assisted in making that happen. * What is a personal achievement you are proud of? My children. My greatest achievement is how well they've grown. Helping them become the people they are. Seeing them progress and having them tell me about how they've used what I have taught them to succeed. I like to inform my clients and their families ahead of time: I have colored hair (currently pink and purple), a nose piercing and modest visible tattoos. I'm happy to wear long sleeves and/or a mask if it makes anyone uncomfortable. My pay is definitely flexible. The app would not allow me to leave it blank. I know families require different things so one set rate is unfair to them. Thank you for reading, hope to work with you soon!

I possess a high level of attention to detail as well as a willingness to do what needs to be done. I always go above and beyond my scope of practice to help my clients achieve the maximum level of independence while acting as a supplement to their abilities. In my opinion, assisting with activities of daily living goes well above and beyond just personal hygiene and meal prep. It means helping the client stay engaged in the community as desired. Getting out and continuing to be active as able. I excel with clients and families that are looking for high quality care as well as compassion and drive to achieve. I like to push for whats possible and work well with a family and care team that is actively involved with day to day on goings and encourages client to maintain maximum health and independence regardless of affliction or disability. I look forward to serving you and your loved one with compassion, dignity, integrity and a high level of professionalism.

My story.. When I was 14 years old my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. She declined very fast and my grandfather (already being 76 years old) couldn't care for her on his own. So my twin brother and I moved in full time with my grandparents and helped care for her at a very young age. Soon after she passed my grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and my family was ready to find a LTC facility (Long Term Care facility) where they could care for him. My brother and I absolutely refused the idea of him being moved out of his home he worked so hard for, so we then continued to take care of him until last year. My whole life has been dedicated to caring for other individuals. Not only do I hold myself to the highest standards of care, but I love doing what I do and show compassion at an all time high, because I put myself in other individuals shoes. This job/career will be my career for a lifetime and I am an extremely family orientated person.

Upbeat and compassionate personality Hard-working, resourceful, eager to learn, team player Effective written and verbal communicator with strong interpersonal capabilities Thrive in environments requiring the ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple responsibilities Capable of using computer Caring I have always wanted to be in healthcare and caregiving, but when my grandfather became sick and I cared for him in my own home that really showed me that this is what I wanted to do. I love that being a caregiver means that everyday you know you have done everything in your hands to help other people and make a difference. One personal experience that I am proud of was when employed in a nursing home. I had been caring for a sweet women who was at end of life and had the most amazing family. I had a special connection with this women and eventually the family. I went out of my way something others didn't do to make not only my patient but the family comfortable. When her final days came, the family went out of there way to show there appreciation and love towards me and my loving, caring self. I hear from this family often years later, with continuous thank you, and updates. I also am very proud to say I was accepted into nursing school for this fall, which I look forward to. I can't wait to further my education and knowledge to be able to better care for others lives.

As a mother of two, I am a caregiver by nature. Outgoing, personable and full of life, I am someone who people enjoy being around.

I am a people person by nature. I love getting to know people and the opportunity to be privileged enough to help care for those in need is something I thoroughly enjoy! I am attending nursing school and have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
