Post Surgery Recovery Caregivers in Knoxville - 6 caregivers found

I am a woman with a lovely heart. I love to assist elderly/disabilities. I want to see them happy. I worked as a caregiver for 8yrs and 10 yrs as a direct support professional.

A personality trait that has helped me become a great caregiver is patience. As a young teen I got to see caregiving first hand. My mother (a nurse ) , care for my great aunt and great grandmother. Watching her care for them and the manny ways they embraced her is the very reason I love what I do ! Personally the thing that I enjoy most about caregiving is the companionship and wonderful stories. Meeting new people and seeing life from their point of view . I love the fact that I'm helping someone continue to live life independently no matter the circumstances. One personal achievement I am proud of is that I recently decided to go back to school online to further my education. I'd say it's going pretty great

Over the years I have supported my husband in his various church ministries. Supporting him and raising our 5 children did not allow me to have a paying job, but it has given me many opportunities to help people in all different situations. I have worked with many disabled and elderly folk. We cared for an elderly man in our home for a short time and I was with him at his death. I have helped in homes with cleaning, cooking, physical hygiene, shopping, laundry, and companionship as well as comforting the dying. I was involved with the care of my own father until his passing two years ago. My mother may soon need my care as well. Years ago, I was trained as a CNA; however, this was before the days of certification. I worked for a couple years in a nursing home and then later in a home for the developmentally disabled. It was very rewarding work, and I was able to use the experience over the years to help and encourage people in our own churches. My husband is currently unemployed, but I still have a desire to find work that would allow me to help people in personal ways. At present I am on a waiting list to take the training to become a certified nursing assistant. I am pleasant, patient, compassionate, empathetic, hard working and honest. I have great respect for the wisdom and experience of the elderly. I try to help them have as much independence and dignity as possible. I enjoy cooking, crafting, sewing and 14 grandchildren!

I am a hard working single mother of 4 looking to make a big life change and come to Arizona from iowa so that the father of my children can help raise them. Im currently lookin for jobs so that i have something lined up before arriving. I am very flexible and wil consider offers for overnights and days but not 2-10 as i have children in school and i tried 2-10 but i never got to see my littles. I love being a cna and i cant wait to start nursing school!

I have been a CNA off and on for 25 plus years in both Nebraska and Iowa. I recently chose to do home healthcare because I really enjoy assisting one on one. As a caregiver I am able to really get to know the person I'm assisting. I love hearing stories my clients have told me about their lives before they were needing assistance. I am proud to be a home health care provider because it is a passion of mine to help people. And when I see a client happy because I was able to assist with things they aren't able to do for themselves anymore or just need a little assistance that makes me feel good. I follow the golden rules of dignity and respect for each client. I follow the HIPPA rules also a care plan.
