Hospice Care Caregivers in Sierra County - 7 caregivers found

I have always been someone who had a heart for others. As a young man that resignated through acts of service, helping others in my neighborhood, through my church, and random people I met along the way. God instilled a gift of caring for my fellow man and he has always placed my in roles where I can use this gift. It wasn't until I was in my 20s where I realized this gift would be well received in the world of medicine and later nursing. I originally thought a career in EMS was where I belonged but it limited my upward mobility and after going through an EMT Basic class I soon realized their were other options available to me. I moved into the hospital environment through a cardiac telemetry position and began learning about inpatient medicine and the many roles nurses play. During my time there I went through a CNA 1 & 2 class and began to realize that nursing was where I would fit in the world of medicine. However, It was my grandmother who cemented the notion in my mind that I would make an amazing nurse. During her last days I was able to spend some time with her; making her conferrable, meeting her needs, caring for her became second nature and I realized in those last moments with her that nursing was where I belong. As you can see I have come full circle in way; starting with the idea that EMS is where I want to be and ending up with a passion for nursing but at an EMS pace in the Emergency Room. I feel at home when I'm working with patients, I look foreword to every shift, and the challenges it provides; because in these challenges I reaffirm my calling to the nursing profession.

I have been working for Partners In Care in Grass Valley, working both in home health and at the assisted living facility Eskaton since the beginning of this year. I have worked as a babysitter and nanny, caring for children for several years. I am currently in my final year of a Physical Therapist Assistant program and will be beginning my internships this month. I have the skills necessary to transfer, ambulate with, and bathe seniors in a safe manner. I am very compassionate and wiling to do the extra work to assure safety and to provide a comfortable and positive environment for those I am working with. I am CPR certified. I used to have my Wilderness EMT certification and was a ski patroller. I feel that I can handle emergency situations well. I am passionate about doing the best I can to make the lives of those around me a little bit better. I am looking forward to hearing from you, and I can assure you that you will be happy with my strong work ethic and positive energy.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better! I am 24 years old, I moved into the Grass Valley/Nevada City area when I was just 9 years old. Living with my 60+ year old grandparents, I attended Bear River High School and had plentiful friends. I worked small jobs like McDonalds, Dickies and Tractor Supply and finally stumbled upon the joys of caregiving through a friend who was working as one. I immediately fell in love. The atmosphere reminded me of my home, old school music and the stories, miles long. I enjoy spending my time absorbing the knowledge, humor and wisdom that so many folks have to offer. I lived with my loving grandparents until 2017, when I carved time away from my family to attend Nursing Assistant school in Sacramento. I am so proud that I now have the education to provide exceedingly valuable care to people that I feel so compassionate about! Thank you for your time and consideration!

I became a caregiver for my mother for almost 3 years ,prior to her death. She was bedridden for the last year. I dealt with all her needs & the Hospice people that attended her. Since then I have cared for 2 different elderly women. One recovering from hip replacement ,that initially needed 24/7 care & companion to the other that was almost blind. I am very good at making them laugh & focus on the humorous side of aging. Something I think is missing from most elderly people's lives. I enjoy listening to their stories- their experiences. I consider myself easy to be with & adjustable to many situations.

I became a caregiver because I truly enjoy working closely with the elderly and those who are unable to care for themselves. I enjoy being able to assist in making the lives of the elderly a much happier enjoyable time. I love being able to spend time and put smiles on their faces at the end of my day with them. I have been recognized through my last employer for my outstanding job in providing care and making myself available when necessary. A little something about me, I am 38 years old I have a 13year old daughter. I am an extremely dedicated individual who is always on time and will never not follow through when I've made a commitment to doing something. A very sincere individual who really enjoys helping others.I currently have my HHA license.

I have lived in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for 20 years. I love the outdoors and enjoy running, yoga and mountain biking. I have always wanted to work in the caring professions.

My daughter is now 17 and taking off for college in the fall. I have experience taking care of all ages of people from newborn to nineties.
