Medical Assistant (MA) Caregivers in Auburn - 4 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 became a caregiver because i simply enjoy taking care of people. I love making people laugh as i feel laughter is the best medicine in this world today. I became a caregiver 25 years ago when I started caring for my handicap cousin. (who is now 37) I enjoyed being with her and teaching even the simpliest things that we may all take for granted. She is blind so I would take her ice skating, sledding, etc, anything for a challenge. To see her feeling of power was enough of a reward for me. I knew I wanted to help people in life so I went to school and became a medical assistant/phlebotomist. The challenges and rewards were endless. I worked in a very busy practice where i was able to utilize the knowledge and compassion i have to take care of people.

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 .
