I started being a caregiver when I was 19 years old my grandmother had a stroke and I took care of her. I have a daughter that needed a liver transplant at 5 month old. Unfortunately she got cancer at three years old from the inner rejection medicine . My husband got cancer about 12 years agoI taking care of him. Worked in a memory care facility. I have my food handling card CPR card and first aide. I'm certified in dementia and Alzheimer's .

The most rewarding about care giving is when it felt like there is some sort of purpose in my work. There is a great opportunity to really get me to engage and have the routine like I am doing something bigger than myself because at the end of the day that is where I am going, going more towards what am I doing that is impacting others, how am I helping them because at the end of the day that is what I want to do. I want to help people and I want to be there to provide a service and really help those out who are in need.

I AM LOOKING FOR PART TIME , 2 2 HOUR SHIFTS A WEEK, . I BECAME A CAREGIVER BECAUSE I HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A NURSE BUT LOST THE OPPORTUNITY EARLY ON IN LIFE AND CAREGIVING SEEMED A GREAT OPTION, I AM A NURTURER AND CARING FOR PEOPLE IS A PLEASURE. I WORKED FOR A COMPANY YEARS AGO AND BECAME THE MANAGER OF MY DEPARTMENT, I WAS PROUD OF MYSELF AND LOVED MY WORK, UNFORTUNATELY I WAS REPLACED BY A MANAGER THAT THOUGHT A MAN COULD DO A BETTER JOB, THANKFULLY TIMES HAVE CHANGED ABIT. I AM SINGLE AND I HAVE A HOME I LOVE WITH A BIG YARD AND LOTS OF FLOWERS ALL OF WHICH ARE WAY TOO MUCH WORK BUT IT IS MY JOY, I HAVE 4 DOGS AND A CAT THAT ARE ALL MY LOVES.

I have alot of empathy for older ones. They are so vulnerable. I feel i need to protect them. I had such a loving relationship with my grandparents that i have always enjoyed older ones company. I know i will take good care of them so it makes me feel good. I am older but have no health issues and can carry out my duties.

I am currently a student at Pima community college pursuing my RN degree. I left a position as a corporate executive to pursue a more satisfying career that would allow me to utilize my knowledge and abilities to care for others. Knowing it will take a few years to get my degree, I chose to become a Certified Nursing Assistant so I can start to help those who are in need of care now.

I am very honest, caring, patient, compassionate and reliable. I love to help others. Caregiving is a wonderful job, you get to really see impact those you assist you learn so much from your clients!

My name is Amanda I am 19 years old. I enjoy being a CNA because no matter the person and situation they have a story. I enjoy getting to know my residents one on one in order to create the best experience for us both. I chose to go into home care so I could spend time with the individual person and not be rushing between rooms. I look at my residents as though they are family. I hold my self to the highest standard of care and will go the extra mile in caring for each individual resident.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping our seniors with everyday life, I enjoy learning about their lives, I like for them to know that they still matter even as they grow older, that someone still has time for conversation. I know that their families have busy lives and while they do care very much for their elders, their everyday lives are complicated with taking care of everyday issues like the bills. I want to be that person they can lean on to let their aging family member know how special they are to them, I do not want to replace them, I just want to be there when they cannot. I believe that I have stated pretty well what I like about being a caregiver. I am proud that I have overcome some devastating things in my life and have moved on to be a better person who has a great deal of patients, caring attitude, loving respect for others, and want to share a smile with our aging community. I enjoy making others smile and bringing laughter to someone Else's life no matter what is going on in my personal life. I do not bring any personal problems to work with me, I do not feel like you should make someone feel unhappy because you may have issues to deal with, personal problems should stay personal and not a problem for the people you are helping.

I love taking care of orders because I know it's very important for them and sometimes I take care of my mom as well that's my passion to take care of people I am a very good person with the people and I like to help them ass and keep them company I am really hard working person and very responsible of what I do in my job.

I always wanted to work in the medical field...but being a caregiver is so awesome , you help and support alot of eldery people you get to become part of their family i love taking care of them and knowing that they also expect for you to be their specially when they have their love ones far away..that their family can depend on you.
