Smithville Flats Caregivers - 94 caregivers found

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is the experience I have. I have 5 years experience working for an agency and independently. I have significant experience with hospice care, dementia, Alzheimers , Parkinson's, COPD, cancers, companion care and the general everyday care of those that can't do things for themselves anymore like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and showers. I always keep medical books in the homes of my clients/patients. On every shift I always take blood pressure , temperature and oxygen so that Vitals can be monitored regularly for any changes. The medical books will keep logs of daily living such as any Dr appointments, mood changes, medications, vitals, daily diet and activities. It's important to catch/detect any change in health. Communication is big with me on keeping everyone on the same page so that the best care can be given at all times. I'm a registered health care aid, . CPR/First Aide certified. I became a health care aide because I believe our loved ones get better care at home from one on one care opposed to a nursing home.

I am a loving and caring person that takes helping others in their homes seriously. I believe people belong in their homes with their families especially eight now with the way COVID is.

I'm a 23 year old mom of 1. I've worked in the field for 7 years. Between my own family members, long term care facilities, and in home health care.

I started out with helping take care of my grandmother while she was sick with cancer when I was younger, from then I moved on to helping others. I love helping others with things so they can still feel independent!

Hello. I would like to take a minute and tell you a little bit about why I became a CNA and caregiver. First of all I enjoy everything there is to be about caring for someone's loved ones, I feel that just being with them and making sure they get the best out of life and meeting their needs is a big positive step to them being happy. I was very excited when I passed my exam to become a CNA and knew I was gonna make a difference in patients lives. I take my job very serious and make sure I fulfill every aspect of my patients daily lives. I have alot of experience in caregiving and CNA work that I would like to share my expertise with others. Im trained in just about everything that it takes to be a caregiver and CNA, I enjoy my profession and I will never stop learning every piece of knowledge I learn is beneficial for my patients.

What makes me a great caregiver I've learned to hear & listen as well have compassion. All my teen age life I wanted to care for elderly & children, I started working with individuals with develop disabilities ages range 18yrs - 70yrs, I thought to myself this is great later I came across working with senior citizens my heart, soul and mind was complete I found my goal this has been a passion and hearts desire. what I love most about being a care giver is being there physically, mentally, spiritually to comfort to have an ear and hand to help make another client day better than the day before. My personal achievement I'm proud of knowing that I made another persons day.

I am an easy going, compassionate young lady who wants to provide the best care for individuals to have a fulfilling and happy life. I enjoy watching and learning from the individuals I provide care too. A personal achievement I am proud of is the decision to continue my education despite the tribulations I have faced.

I have always been a very caring person but learned how much I enjoyed taking care of others after my father suffered from a stroke. Since then I have worked for years with people with disabilities. I enjoy working one on one with people and helping them accomplish tasks that they have worked hard at. I am proud to say that I have become a manager at my current job.

I have been in the health field for over 13+ years, I've worked at a nursing home throughout college. Went to LPN school (still have to sit boards) My most recent employer was a 74 year young lady with Parkinson's. I worked with her for 10 years. I was what she called her "Girl Friday" I did everything from medication reminders and dispensing, to hiring aides, payroll, care for her cats, ran errands, shopped for her, brought her to all appointments, Cooked for her, house cleaning, bathing, dressing, toileting and companionship ( we were incredibly close) I am a very dependable and reliable caregiver. I am kind, caring and considerate. I love taking care of the elderly. I can truly say I am good at what I do, and take enormous pride in my care.

My favorite thing about being a caregiver is seeing them feel comfortable and smile when I am caring for them & attending to what they may not be able to do themselves. One my personal achievements I am proud of is, getting my CNA in 2020 & my CPR in 2022.
