Home Care Aide (HCA) Caregivers in Baring - 4 caregivers found

I developed my passion to be a caregiver after i took care myself of my husband who died of cancer. We then are in and out of the hospital and everyday i saw how sick and old people need their fellow to take care of them and look after them. During my day to day experience doing my job i feel a sense of happiness and fulfilment in what i do knowing i am able to help somebody who needs me.

I graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and two minors in human development and sociology. Since then I have been working for a residential care agency with adult family homes and single individual apartments. I began as a caregiver and moved up to a site supervisor and eventually an area supervisor. As an area supervisor I manage eight special needs clients and 25 staffing caregivers. I am looking to change my job and do private caregiving as it will be closer to my home. I absolutely love being a caregiver and I cannot imagine myself doing anything else. I have a vast array of experience with many types of medical diagnoses and special needs. I strongly believe that the greatest skills a caregiver can have is incredible patience and to remain positive and smiling for those you care for! If you are interested and want to know more please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.

I truly believe to be a good caregiver you need to know what needs to be done. I have the energy, the capability, and the drive to take action. I make it a priority to always be aware of the physical and emotional needs of my clients that are in my care, I try to take notice and be observant when something is \"off,\" and not to ignore a problem or unhealthy changes happening with the client, and give up until we figure out how to address the problem. I believe our elders need caregivers with these traits, because sometimes our clients can't clearly communicate themselves, or they simply don't know what's wrong. As a caregiver I need to possess the courage and tenacity to make sure my client receives the best of care and always include the family and physicians and whoever else is part of the care team.

I started out working in a big retirement home in redmond when i was, 22 loved it but after becoming preganet i chose to take,a couple years off for my daughter. Later i started back taking care of my grandmother. And thats, where my passion for helping elders kicked in. I found a pleasure in helping them. It makes this feel less like a job and more like a day out. I like, working more in smaller places that way i can dedicate my time to one.
