Post Surgery Recovery Caregivers in Westcliffe - 16 caregivers found

My name is lisa im 36 years young , I'm a licensed cna and live in the great state of Colorado, I love helping anyone who needs help and wants great care , I have a passion for cooking and I enjoy doing light house keeping because keeping a clean house make a great soul , I have been certified in Alzheimer's and really I enjoy working with these clients , I took care of my uncle from stage 1 to the very end , if I can be of help do let me know

I am a care giver at heart! I have always been the nurturer of the family. I have 17+ yrs experience with caring for the elderly. 13 of those years specializing in Alzheimer's and dementia care. I learned from my previous residents' that it's important to have a sense of humor in this field of work, which I can think I'm a comedian some days! I never knew this work was meant for me until it just fell into my lap one day and was told by many I was a natural. I find it very rewarding seeing my patient's happy, see someone relieved of their pain, or just making that special bond or friendship after earning their trust. Whether it be just for a moment in each day, to see that I made my patient's life a little bit easier for them-makes caregiving so worthwhile. Something I have achieved would be staying in this field of work for so many years. There are people that simply aren't capable of doing the "dirty work" that comes with the job title. I can admit sometimes there will be "bad days,"but will always realize that at the end of the day- the good outweighs the bad....

A few things about me are I am an extremely outgoing person, I love to make people smile and feel joy! I became a caregiver soon after I became a mother because I developed a passion for helping others and bring laughter around. Being a caregiver is more than a job to me, my residents become my family and I love looking out for them. Caregiving showed me the path I wanted to be on and helped me decide what I wanted to do with my life, I have pushed myself to lengths I didn't even know possible; and for that I'm beyond proud.

I really enjoy helping and taking care of people, and I get a long with everyone, I'm super nice, and I don't let much get to me. I have 2 kids, one is a girl she is 12, and a boy he is 7. I helped take care of my dad he is a paraplegic I helped with physical therapy, feeding him, giving him a drink when he needed it, and helped mom with whatever she needed. My Aunt she had diabetes had some skin cut out I helped her through that, and my cousin he had a colostomy bag and helped his mom and him through that. I learn very quickly, especially when it's hands on,

I feel I'm an up beat, positive person. I am very kind & caring naturally, it's just who I am & what I do. Doesn't matter if I'm working or not. I love helping people just in general being able to build friendships & making peoples life a little easier daily makes me happy. I feel am very lucky to be able to wake up & help make a persons day a little happier just by being there for them and helping them out. One of my favorite parts of caregiving is getting to meet all the different types of people & hear their different life stories. My greatest accomplishments I'm most proud of in life would be my 2 amazing kids.

I am an outgoing person. I am a fast learner who loves to expand my skills. I work hard and am self motivated.

I have been Caregiving for about 6 years , i enjoy helping people and working with them.

I have a high degree of energy, integrity, confidentiality, and creativity as well as the intellectual, organizational, and personal qualities to work as a caregiver. I am extremely detail oriented and take pride in doing my job well. I began my COTA career in the Denver area after graduating from the program in 2014. I moved back to Westcliffe in 2016 in the best interest of my son. It was difficult to find full-time employment as a COTA in the area, so I went to work for the Custer County Road & Bridge Department. In 2018, I was able to stop working and devote my time to my son, as well as volunteer for CASA. As my son grew older, I decided to go back to work. I am currently working for the Custer County Treasurer's Office as Deputy Treasurer, which I truly enjoy, however I am looking to supplement my income while helping others.

I've helped my mom out with her job at Bruce MCcandles State Veterans Home. I helped wash laundry and fold their clothes. I helped check on retired veterans and others. I watched how their food was prepped and handed out to them. I love helping people and being there for them in anyway I can so I found it in being a caregiver can give me that. The biggest benefit to being a caregiver is the learning experiences you make, the people you meet and all the bonds you build are unlike any other. I'm personally proud of stepping out of my shell. I used to not be a super social butterfly but I opened up because it gives me better opportunities
