Experienced caregiver

Hi there!!!! I have always had a passion for helping others. Whether it was taking a position in a daycare or public school or assisted living or residential home; I have been working in the human service field for as long as I was legally able too! And before I jumped into the workforce, I babysat children in my community since 11 years old; so being a caregiver has always come naturally to me. During my 20's while studying to obtain my bachelors degree, I worked as a PSS for seven years for two home health care agencies. I absolutely loved working with clients in their homes, as I'm able to provide exceptional care in the environment that they feel most comfortable. I find it extremely rewarding to help others in need. In my opinion, the elderly are the most vulnerable population to be financially and physically abused, and it's important for caregivers to advocate, so that they are able to receive the proper care the later years of their lives. I enjoy working with a client in home, as I find that everyone has their own culture and it's fascinating to learn about someone's past life experiences. I think it is very important to be open minded, and I would fully respect my clients way of living and not show judgment. I have great communication skills and can adapt to whatever style of communication my client prefers. I take constructive criticism very seriously; I want to make sure I am giving the best care, but more importantly the right care, for what my clients personalized needs are. I promise to treat my clients with dignity and respect, while providing them support so that they are able to continue living successfully and safely, in the comfort of their own homes.

I am patient , Hardworking , Honest , Professional , Dependable. I love the elderly also it is rewarding experience not just a job. I advocate for the Elderly also Adults with Disabilities another one of my rewarding and passionate experiences . I was nominated for the Obudsman Award for an outstanding Professional in the Healthcare field in 1990 by Bethany Lawrence Founder , Owner , President of Aging Excellence whom I worked for 11 years.

I describe myself as an outgoing, compassionate person with a ton of empathy. I started realizing I wanted to be a caregiver at the age of 9. I accompanied my mother to her job during the summers. She was the manager for Eastern Agency on Aging and provided weekly lunch and bingo activities for a group of elderly people. I really enjoyed helping people and the people I helped were extremely appreciative. I felt very rewarded, even at that young age. I had children young, became a CNA at the age of 23 and have been working in different settings with a geriatric population ever since.

Hello! A little about me, I am a natural extrovert, and can make anyone's day brighter. I started care giving in high school when my grandma moved in with us. I enjoyed it because it didn't feel like work to me. The thing I enjoy most about care giving is the time I get to spend helping someone perform tasks that they enjoy and the stories of old adventures! My personal achievement is being the #1 caregiver at HomeInstead within 2 months.

At the small age of 9 i would help my aunt take care of my Great grandmother. Dressing and feeding and just being there for her. I've always wanted to be someones light in their darkest times. Taking great care of people is what I know. I've done caregiving my whole life and I always enjoy meeting new people and hearing the stories of how life used to be. I believe everyone deserves to have a good life even better a great ending. No one should ever feel unloved or wanted when they need help. I want to make life easier for other's, as we know illness doesn't make anything easy. I moved to lincolnville to help take care of a family member before corona. She had dementia and Alzheimer's as well as DVT. She passed away october 2020. She was and is an amazing soul. To put it simply, I love what I do and I love to help anyway i possibly can.

I have worked as a caregiver and feel like I am good at it because I am an empathetic person; I care deeply about people! Also, I am attentive and and fun to be around! I love many different activities and am interested in many topics. I have traveled around the world and so have interesting stories to share. As a mother of four, I have learned the art of patience and tolerance; I am also a grandmother of 3!

Patient, kind hearted and a great listener. I enjoy helping and knowing I've made an impact on someone. Seeing the smile on someone's face, knowing that I've helped them, in whatever it may be.

I enjoy seeing progress or atleast helping the client comfortable in whatever situation they are in. It's the small steps that make me happy to see people make. To be able to help someone live a "normal" life with some help make me feel amazing as well as seeing that they are properly cared for.

I'm a people person,I always take the time to find a common interest with them. I enjoy caring for all as it makes me feel good,I'm helping someones family caring for their loved one. Every person is definitely different then the next,so what might work for others might not work for someone else I don't make that person do anything,they have their routine
