Dementia Caregivers in Whitewater - 48 caregivers found

My name's Mariah. Being a caregiver is something I've done seems all my life. I grew up on a hobby farm and had many animals. I was there caregiver. They thought me responsibility, respect, patience, kindness, and much more. I chose this career path because of my father. He was very I'll in my teen years. I learned about heart disease and skin cancer. He's now in heaven cheering me on. I also took care of my aunt who had kidney disease and spina bifida. My family has taught me a lot about living life to the fullest. That's why I enjoy being a caregiver because everyone should live life to the fullest each and every day. My goals are to make everyone smile and forget there problems, even when you don't feel well a laugh is always a step forward. When I leave my shift at the end of the day, I want my clients to know there cared for, respected, and most of all safe. My clients are MY BOSS. I'm willing to go above and beyond. When family's get tired I'm here, I'm there back bone. I'm always willing to help give advice or be a listening ear. Please remember it's harder for the person then you! Always keep a smile!

I am a compassionate, empathetic, outgoing and trustworthy person. I started caregiving because I love working with people they have so many good stories to share. I recently went to school to get my nursing assistant certification, on my way to be a nurse.

There are many qualities that make one a great caregiver. My qualities are that I try to do my best when working with residents as well as trying to understand them. Aging out does not mean they do not have needs or that they should not be heard, I try to use critical thinking and make every resident as comfortable as possible so their needs are being met. I am an outgoing person I love to help others and exceed my job expectations, I am a carrying person who is easygoing and takes responsibilities as well as the needs of others seriously. I have a grandfather with dementia and this made me want to help others who need an assistant. I have seen the lack of caregivers there is for elders. I love caregiving because it allows me to have a better understanding of what goes on in others' life and I get to be part of people's life making a difference in assisting them or bringing them a smile. I am proud of the person I am and how far I have gotten with my psychology and social work bachelors that I am currently working on.

Through personal experience with both my grandmothers, we found it difficult to find good quality and reliable care. Starting in High school I took a medical terminology course , and from there my interest in the medical field grew. I took the CNA course through Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville and LOVED IT! I opted to take the additional Advance Nursing Assistant course. I have worked in many different environment such as nursing homes, hospital and Home Health. After 3 years I decided to open my own business become licensed and insured to provide Care for others in their Home and it's been the Best discission of my life!!

I have a been a personal caregiver for over 18years I started out working as a Cna in nursing home and I thoroughly enjoy and love the helping others out. It is very fulfilling to me knowing I can help out in any way I can by just simply being there when they need someone. In addition to providing companionship, I can help monitor medications, prepare delicious meals, keep home and laundry clean, transport to Doctors appointments, etc. Your loved one will be in good hands when they are with me.

Hi, my name is Heather. I am married and a mother to 4 children. I come from a family of nurses but I did not go into nursing (I heard too many horror stories from family) My oldest son experienced permanent brain damage when he was 1 week old, due to multiple days of uncontrollable seizures with no known cause. It was a struggle to find him the right kind of help and assistance to grow and succeed. When the right team of people came along my son absolutely flourished. I developed a new appreciation for the dedication and compassion as well as support his teachers/assistants/case workers provide everyday and will continue to throughout his adulthood. I had the opportunity for a short amount of time to work as a Resident Assistant in a nearby memory care facility. It was the most fulfilling job that I have had but unfortunately was cut short due to an increase in hours in my full time job at the time. If you are still reading, thank you! I apologize for the long backstory, but it brings me into the present. I want to spend my life doing something that I enjoy and hopefully provide a little bit of hope, happiness and stability to everyone that I encounter.

I became a caregiver for my passion for helping others, and being an advocate for my clients/patients. I love that being a caregiver helps me alongside my schooling and furthering my knowledge and experience. I enjoy being the person that my clients/patients can count on and love just like their own family. I am proud to say I am a dependable person, and willing to work with whatever kinds of things life throws at me.
