Medical Assistant (MA) Caregivers in Pomfret Center - 6 caregivers found

I became a caregiver after working in healthcare for over 20 years. I work as a Medical Assistant working mostly in medical practices. Primary care and some specialties . I liked working with the clients and helping them to understand their insurance benefits, medication management, help to alleviate concerns regarding procedures and upcoming appointments. I became a caregiver so that I could continue same caring and understanding on an individual basis. One on one daily really is very rewarding.

I have always felt like caring of others was just my calling. While all the other kids in my neighborhood dressed up like monsters and superheros for Halloween I dressed up as an "everyday hero" a nurse. Growing up I always knew what I wanted to be when I grew up there was never a doubt in my mind. In my quest to become a nurse, I don't want to waste precious learning opportunity while is school so I first became a CNA and then a licence medication aid. Adding skills and helping better lives along the way. What I love most about my job is learning about these wonderful peoples lives, and their families and what made them who they are today. Because at the end of the day its not just a job these people become part of your life to.

I enjoy being a caregiver spending 25 years working with children has a counselor,being a specialed foster parent for 15 years and spending the last 5 years working in geriatrics

I am 38 years old. I'm married and a mother of 5 children. Three of which are not biologically mine but whom I love as much as the ones I carried in my womb. I believe that I was born a caregiver. From an extremely young age, I took on the role of caring for the weaker kids at school. I felt like I had a responsibility to protect them from bullies or from being the cast outs. It never won me a popularity contest, but it gave me a sense of satisfaction that nothing else could even compare. I take pride knowing that when I work for someone, they are receiving first class service from me. The first class service isn't provided because of a paycheck. It's provided because it leaves me feeling so good about myself. I was a stay at home mother, which is the most difficult job there is, of five children. My husband and I have a yours, mine, and ours family. It was challenging to meet everyone's needs without adding my own need for a professional education. With the encouragement of my husband and our children, I attended school to become a Certified Medical Assistant. I graduated at the top of my class and, unknown to me until it was presented, was awarded the first "Exemplary Student Award". I was proud of myself for facing a challenge head on despite the many challenges I was already enduring being a mother and wife.

I've been a caregiver for approximately 8 yrs .now. I love helping people in their homes, helping them to feel safe and gain back some of their independence. That is why I got started. Over the years, you develop wonderful relationships with your clients that help bring some meaningfulness and some happiness back into their lives. Some achievements as caregivers seem small like getting a dimensla patient to take a shower, when they're afraid of water, getting someone to stand up and use their walker when they just don't want to bother. I have experienced these very fulfilling achievements over and over. I started with a degree in teaching, and then adopted three special needs children. While caring for them I was inspired to help others .

I like helping people. Being able to make someone else life easier. After being out of school for 30+ years, it was easy to get back into the grove again. I enjoy helping people & animals. If I see someone who needs help, I will help them or offer my assistance. I'm friendly, outgoing person. I enjoy walking in the woods. I have 2 cats, 2 dogs & 4 hens. I like learning & doing new things.
