Canisteo Caregivers - 35 caregivers found

I am studying psychology at the Masters level At Northcentral University I have many years caring for relatives and friends ailments from Kidney Cancer , Huntington Disease and liver disease and dementia

I really enjoy helping people, and improving their quality of life. I've been working in healthcare since 1999, and feel I bring a wealth of experience to the job. I have a wonderful sense of humor (which I feel is a necessity) and I love to hear a client's story. I have had Systemic Lupus for several years, so I would prefer not to due a lot of heavy lifting. I would assess on a case by case basis.

I am very compassionate and empathetic. I have taken care of others for many years including family members suffering from dementia as well as other cognitive and physical disorders. I enjoy helping others obtain happiness and contentment while being able to live in a home setting. The best part of being a care giver is the personal reward. My proudest personal achievement is being a mom and nana.

I'm a single mother of two BEAUTIFUL girl. I started my career as a CNA for IRA DAVENPORT. I then changed paths when I found out I was pregnant for my oldest.. I went from physically helping people to helping them get out of debt. As much as I enjoyed that, I then moved back into the physical part working one on one with ARC of Steuben in two different houses. I worked late shifts an missed a lot of my kids while they were young. Due to not being able to get a permanent day shift, I then got into the mental health receptionist role where I can continue to work with people. I enjoy my job now, but would love to work hands on with people again.

My passion is being there for others. It is so rewarding when you listen to their life stories and see a smile come through or hear them laugh. I am happy that I chose the path that I have. Caregiving is not a job, its a passion.

I can be a very good caregiver because I make sure that when I am work that I get the job done. I also might remind the client to take some medicine if they are supposed to. I also help out with meal prep if need and do house hold chores that they might need help with. I also make sure that if they need help with bathing that I help with that to. I am also a good listener and I enjoy there company as much as they enjoy mine because sometimes people just need to talk to someone new.

I'm not just a care giver. I drive to and from appointments. I also do maintenance work needed around the home and take care of property. I'm very patient and take time with The one I'm working with

As a Candystriper many years ago, I gravitated toward the elderly. As a nursing student (I didn't not complete), I found that it was the elderly that needed that one-on-one, extra time spent, relationship. While in college, I provided home care/companion care, and have on and off for the past 35+ years. I've had a myriad of clients with different concerns and at various stages of health. I spent two days w/my father-in-law while he was in hospice, and was present at his passing, calling TOD. I enjoy doing for others, providing them w/care and companionship while allowing family members to take a much-needed break. An "achievement" that I'm most proud of is giving a client back some semblance of pride. Though she suffered from dementia, she could still communicate and read. Her abject fear was to be alone and trapped. I made a sign that was at the foot of her bed that reminded her that she was never alone and that someone was always there. The sign had velcro dots, and each caregiver had a small sign w/their name on it that could be affixed for their shift. She was able to call us by name when she became panicked, fearing that she was alone (even though someone was always in the next room). When she sat at the dining room table eating her meal and because she didn't have the strength to push herself away from the table, she would fret that she was trapped and couldn't relax enough to enjoy her meal. I made a little tent card that had a picture of a dining table and chair, and it said "you have the power to move back from the table because we will help you". Both signs made a huge difference in her life...something so simple, yet so powerful.

Hello, my name is Jocelyn and it is a pleasure to virtually meet you! I am a very energetic, kind, and knowledgeable caregiver. I got attracted to being a caregiver upon my Great Grandfather's mental decline. I saw he needed help and knew I wanted to help as many people as I could to ensure they had the best quality of life possible. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is giving back to the community. I am proud to be the only person in my family to get a college degree and move out of the state of Wyoming!

I have five years experience as a Home Health Aide, and am currently in school to obtain my LPN. I have experience with hospice care, and volunteer at the Hart Comfort House whenever I can. I try not to take myself too seriously, and consider any shift where I can make my client laugh or smile to be a success.
