Hello! My name is Shantel Richards. I have worked as a caregiver for about 6 years. I have a degree in Health Sciences. I am a very kind and passionate person. I love helping others.

I have been in the care giving fields for over 10 years, I started out at the age of 18 working as a Direct Support professional and Residential Counselor, I went on to become a care aide and I enjoyed seeing the difference I made in peoples lives ai wanted to advance my career in the field so I can be more knowledgeable on how to help people, so i first became a License Practical Nurse and now a little over a year a Registerrd Nurse. I worked in so many different departments because I'm a what you call, " a know it all". I just want to know it all so I can help others in every way I can. So I bounced around from specialties and departments to gain as much knowledge as I can. It also helps me feel confident in my work.

What makes me a great caregiver? Excellent question. I am very very respectful, even if an elderly person is becoming frail and/or senile, it's important to remember that they are a person with a lot of experience, and a person who was once able to stand on their own two feet. I am also very empathetic; Ageing can be a confusing and difficult process for some older people, as tasks they used to find simple become a challenge that needs to be overcome. I am also very very reliable. What attracted me to being a caregiver? I enjoy working with people and most enjoy jobs where you have one-on-one interaction with others. I enjoyed taking care of elder family members and would like to help others in this way. I like older adults and feel you can get along well with a variety of elders. I doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. I like doing a variety of tasks in a day. I don't ever say, "that's not my job" but instead like pitching in to do whatever is needed. I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. I take pride in your attention to detail. I don't want a desk job; you like being physical in your job and using your body as well as your brain. I am seeking a career with growing opportunities. I don't want to invest in many years of formal education but you are willing to learn new skills and take continuing education to do your job well. I feel that when you are older, I'd want someone like myself there to help me if I need help. What do I enjoy most about being a caregiver? I think just meeting peoples' needs. Sometimes it's not a glamorous job but you leave and the people feel like they have been treated with dignity. Their needs are met, they're comfortable or as comfortable as you can help them become. It's a very important thing for me. Not that it has to be glamorous, but just their smiles. It's just a very rewarding thing.

I have been a caregiver for a few years now. In those few years, i have learned valuable lessons that will stay with me forever. Lessons taught by other staff or a patient. They can't teach you everything in a classroom, you have to learn somethings hands on, and those are the lessons I will never forget. Being a caregiver has taught me how to put others needs before my own, it has taught me gratitude and selflessness. Being a caregiver isn't about just doing your job, it's about compassion. I treat all of my clients as if they are family, because in reality they will become a second family.

Hello! My name is Deneen. I grew up on Riverside Drive in New York City. I moved to Roscoe, NY in the 1980s and raised a beautiful family. I believe that in order to be great at what you do, you actually should have an interest, love or strong work ethic pertaining to your field of interest. Providing care for the individuals that I have worked for and those that needed care has always been a great joy for me, just seeing the smiles on their faces is so heartwarming. This is just one of the things that let me know that they feel that I'm doing my very best in providing their daily care.
