Dementia Caregivers in Big Prairie - 26 caregivers found

Hello, my name is Lynn hall and I became a caregiver after my divorce, I had no experience and honestly not much work experience as was a stay at home mother.My neighbor said I should try caregiving as she thought I would be a good fit! Well here I am almost 12 years later and I love taking care of people. Being a mother of 3 I think that made a huge difference. Thank you for reading this.

Welcoming you with warm wishes. Just wanted to share alittle about me. I'm 34 yrs old. I've worked since age 14yrs. My mom was a single mom raising 3 kids. I enjoyed working hard and I have always been a giving hearted person. I remember I used to get my paychecks an was so excited I was able to but my mom dinner from a days hard of work. I was first introduced to an entry level position in the State of Kansas as a Residential Trainer for people who face physical and mental challenges and I did that for 3 years. It was so rewarding. Very hard work but I have always been very open to learning new things and I enjoy challenges. If we stay in where were comfortable. The you limit yourself from learning and doing what you can to be the hands and feet for Gods kingdom. After doing that for 3 yrs I decided to get my nurses aide license and doing that for so many years has been such a wonderful opportunity. I absolutely love my elders and I AM THE VOICE WHO SPEAKS UP FOR THEM. I believe that there is way too many people shoved in a room with a facility that lacks sufficient staffing to give the residents attention to give them the essentials like a regular bath and hygiene and clothes put on. I've seen too much of the THE BAD AND THE UGLY in institutions and to me that's NO WAY for anyone to live or spend there retirement in. I love talking and sharing stories, praying, I enjoy providing exceptional care to all clients I come in contact. I'm very friendly. My passion in life is people going above and beyond the call of duty. I'm flexible and reliable as I dont have any kids. Just 3 sweet dogs. Goals I'm working towards and emails the Congress is to shut down institutions and create group homes with a maximum of 5 clients per 1 Nurses Aide Ratio because in the end it would save money on healthcare costs for our elders and reduce risk and injuries and could extend there life. https://www.facebook.com/HealingBeginsInTheHeart Blessings- Heather Sperry

I like taking of elderly people because like to give back

I am cpr certified

I have worked with elder care for over 18 years. The bulk of my time has been with hospice care but I also have experience with Alzheimers, Diabetes, and movement disorders (MS, ALS etc) I will always care for you family as if they were my own.

I became a caregiver because my mother was a nurse. She did home health care for years and she always talked about how much she loved it. When I started into this field it was in hospice care and I loved it. I loved being there with families and helping them through the very difficult times. I always spent more time than required so I could ensure that things were the best they could be considering the situation. I tend to be a fairly quite person at first but become chattery once I feel comfortable. I have always been that way but I have become better with age. I love helping people. And spending time just talking if that's all they would like.

I am a gentle, compassionate person who is passionate about helping people live as independently as possible in their homes. I really enjoy meeting new people and hearing their life stories/experiences. It gives me great pleasure to be a part of making independent living possible for those whom I serve.

I think I am a great caretaker because I actually take the time to care for elderly as they are my family. I have a big heart for children and elderly that's what interested me in taking care of the elderly on my own. I enjoy the one on one time with them. One of my achievements that I am proud of is I get to know new people meaning my clients and their family. I am a people person and I tend to become very close to my clients like family

I enjoy working with the elderly, i have been in the home caring field for little over 10 years. I am easy going, I believe treating people the way I would like to be treated. I take care of the clients as I would my own loved one. I am 66 years old have one child living with three grandchildren and one great granddaughter. I ensure to keep my self busy.

Hi, My name is Regchal but it's said Rachael different, Yes I know lol. Am 23 years of age graduate from high school have two childeren of my own that I love to the Moon and back. Yet I decided to become a caregiving back in 2006 when my mother had to get open heart surgery she had an 80% blockage of the heart ovary basically devastated the whole family thing were chaotic but I myself had to pull it together and be her strength I was only 16 when I took care of my mom after heart surgery I got offered a job at Cleveland Clinic one of the biggest hospital in the world to be an aide there yet, my mom thought I was to young at the time. I love what I do and I am good, but what makes me great and stand out from other is that I have a passion for it, it's God's gift to me to be nurturing and with this gift I was and still is my mother back bone, to others it's just wiping butt and cleaning people but to me it's a whole lot more then just that, I myself as an nursing Aides become attracted Family we build trust tell stories cry together we get through the storm to get to the sun but you have to do this with a caring heart so our resident build confidence and say they can instead I can't.
