I grew up in a family of 10 and, being the 3rd to oldest, it came with a lot of responsibility. By 7 years old I could change, feed and put a baby to sleep. With this experience, came a sense of empathy for those in need. Caring for others has always been a morally rewarding task and I plan on assisting others for as long as possible. I'll be available in the 607 area until April, next stop is Kansas, in the vicinity of Lawrence. If you or someone you know needs care, please feel free to message me with any questions!

What makes me a great caregiver is that I pay attention to details. I do exactly what I'm told, asked and also give advice according to my expertise and I tell the truth about what is needed when it matters. I first started working with elders within my monastery taking care of their basic needs and taking them back and forth to doctor's appointments and following their doctors care of plan. That transmitted to my professional work life as a certified nursing aide, as I work in the nursing homes and also in private home settings. It brings me joy to see those who are in need of help receive the assistance that they need without taking away their dignity and also giving them the extra help that's necessary.... at the same time allowing them to do what they can for themselves. I have a broad range going from helping those with terminal illnesses all the way to those who just need extra assistance around the house. There is no job too big or too small for me to do.

Hello! I started out as a certified nurse aide in the year 1999. I decided to help care for people when helping care for my great grandmother. It felt great to be able to be there for someone in their time of need. I have since cared for so many different types of ailments, diseases and people who need general household help. I've ran errands, did light cleaning, fed, bathed, assisted with walking. Cooked meals, taken them to appointments, also sat as a companion. I've helped others go through hospice care, cancer care, Parkinsons, dementia, alzheimers, sundowners, after surgery care, wound care, broken body parts, stiff body parts...lots of different things. I've been helping the elderly population for 24 years now. I enjoy being there, listening/talking with them, going out to lunch or shopping. Staying in doing puzzles or watching old westerns or just simply being there for them in any way I can. I've spent time with others on holidays as well. It's interesting to spend time with people and hear their life stories of "how it used to be" or to see how town was in the 40's or 50's or back when there was horse & buggy rides to school...enjoy it all. I like to spend my time with my grandbabies also doing crafts or watching my favorite series. Family is everything to me, we all try to be there and help each other as much as we can. Thank you for checking out my profile and hope you have a blessed & positive day.

I have been a caregiver for many years. I worked at Pathfinder Village for 6 years taking care of people with mentally disabled needs. I used to cook, clean, shop, bring them to drs appointments, bath them if they needed help, do fun activities with them. I am med cert, CPR certified, Scip trained, gait belt and hoyer trained, CNA experience.

It is my passion to care for others. When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimers disease I realized I wanted to become a home health aid/ certified nurses assistant. Since his passing I've worked in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, as well as home care. I absolutely love to help and care for others in need.

In 2016 I began my time working in Direct Care with a desire to succeed, and the confidence that I can make a positive contribution to the individuals whome I care for. Over the years, I demonstrated dedication to my work and vision by giving insight for better planning, organization, and being naturally scheduled oriented and rarely missing scheduled work days, as well as completing all documentation required. I've also consistently took on additional responsibilities. For example, I took the initiative to become Medication Certified, not only for my benefit, but also for the care of my individuals. I regularly work extra shifts when required. Co-workers recognize my skills and aptitude for problem-solving and demonstrate their confidence in my knowledge by coming to me for advice on a variety of subjects, and work related topics.

I am a great caregiver because I take my time with people and I care about the person I am caring for. Watching CNA's care for my grandpa when he was in the hospital is what me into caregiving. Because seeing someone care for my grandpa and help him with the things he needed gave me and my family a lot of relief knowing that when we left to go home he was taken care of and we didn't have to be there 24 hours. It made me want to be able to do that for other people and their families, give them relief and comfort knowing their loved one is being taken care of even if they're not there. I love being a caregiver because I love to help people and it makes me feel good to help people with whatever they need without making them feel like a burden or like they are less of a person because they need a little help.

I have been a caregiver for 20+ years in various settings. I worked for hospice for 11yrs and decided to go out on my own to give the best individualized care to the people I help. I am married have 3 children and have a beautiful home in a country setting. I am respectful, honest, dependable and have excellent references.
