Post Surgery Recovery Caregivers in Shawboro - 19 caregivers found

Let me start by telling you how I got into health care. My mother Died in 2017 and it made me want to be a CNA so I could help take care of other peoples parents and grand parents being I'll never get the oppurtunity to take care of my mother in her elderly years. Im a mother to 4 wonderful children who i spend all my time with when im not working to improve our lives. I enjoy being around the elderly and taking care of them. I love listening to their stories of how they grew up and learning from their past experinces. I think the achievement im most proud of is pushing myself to go to school to be a CNA. I look forward to going back and getting my CNA 2 and medication certificate.

I possess several important personality traits and experiences that contribute to my role as a caregiver. Some common personality traits include compassion, empathy, patience, and the ability to establish trust. These traits enable me to connect with and understand the needs of the individuals I care for, allowing me to provide emotional support and maintain a positive environment.

I have become an caregiver to help people that are in need. I love helping people there is no greater feeling. i have worked in nursing homes and private homes. i currently work with hospice and ths is definately my calling

My "first career" consisted in working for the government for 18 years as a contacting officer, which I retired from in 2005. This did not fulfill my needs and passion to be in the healthcare community, which I always secretly longed to do. I pursued a education as a certified nursing assistant and have been in the healthcare field for 7 yrs. I especially love the diversity of taking care of all my patients. I am a great listener and have the passion and determination to treat everyone equally. I have a lot of patience and empathy and try to make all my patients as comfortable as possible. I will treat your loved ones as I would treat my own family. There is no other field of work that makes me feel as whole of a person as healthcare. I especially love to take care of the elderly, as they have so many interesting stories to tell of their lives. I have experience as a certified nursing assistant and a medical assistant., CPR qualified. There is no better feeling than being able to help someone and to make their day a little brighter.

Earned a bachelor Degree in kinesiology: exercise science which is the study of the human body movement. I care about health, nutrition, and fitness. With that degree, i've learned ways to help with cardiovascular health problems, lower blood pressure, and things in that sort. I am a hard working, dedicated man. Full committed to any task I begin. Once was a quarterback of a collegiate team, so I know how to be held accountable, and lead others. I want to help others become the best version of themselves. I enjoy helping and giving back to other the same as my family did for me and others around the community and seeing that type of love from my parents and family always stuck with me to do the same for others. I recently, finish a "internship" and graduate with a bachelor of science.

Angelique L. Smith 115 Otters Place South Mills, NC 27976 619-823-1308 (cell) alsmith11703@gmail.com February 1, 2016 Dear Sir/Ma'am: I am seeking to leverage 17+ years of proven nursing, patient care, and medical skills into a position as a Phlebotomist/Nurse Aide-Assistant/Home Health Aide/Hospice Aide/Technician at a Hospital/Medical Clinic/Patient Care Facility/Home Health Agencies/Hospice Agencies. I have been certified as a Nurse Assistant/ Home Health and Hospice Aide by the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Health Professions and have been certified as a Nurse Assistant at total care facilities through on the job training in the state of Hawaii and North Carolina. I have been certified by the American Red Cross in Adult and Child CPR, and Standard First Aid. I am qualified in the use a cardiac monitoring system, and possess the skills required to place a patient on oxygen therapy via various modes such as nasal canula or mask. I have performed a variety of nursing assignments, including measuring, recording, and tracking patient vital signs, finger stick (blood sampling), monitor fluid in-take and out-put informing medical providers of abnormal findings, assist clinic medical providers with treatment and diagnosis, equipment and lab area preparation. I am knowledgeable of clinic supply/logistics requirements, familiar with patient identification and eligibility requirements including DEERS enrollment and knowledgeable of clinical

I have 22 years RN experience in medical and surgical nursing in the hospital setting as well as 8 years in home health and hospice. My assessment of subtle changes in a client's condition and comfort in providing care in homes is a bonus to my basic caregiving skills of safely bathing, transfering, and interacting with clients of all ages and debility. You wonder why I am not looking for a RN job? I no longer want to deal with the endless paperwork and little actual client contact involved with nursing today. However, I am a caregiver at heart and still want to serve people, especially the elderly, who need assistance. My personality is respectful and somewhat reserved, but i enjoy listening and talking about family, life experiences, etc. I have done much work with and continuing education regarding people with dementia, behavioral challenges, and mental disorders. I do only want to work part time for now.

I make a great caregiver because I genuinely enjoy helping others at their time of need. My ability to create a smile or crack a small joke to make someone feel better or that their situation is ok and normal for them, has given so many people a feeling of acceptance and a lack of feeling embarrassed or a burden during their illness(s). To me that is the most humbling and rewarding thing that can be achieved in a life time. To have the desire, skill and patience to achieve that is a gift. My life goal is to allow others to feel normal and that they have more than just a caregiver to help them with ADL's but a friend, a confidant and a partner in their illness. Going home each day knowing I made a families day better is my favorite part of everyday. You ask what attracted me to caregiving. Well it fell in my lap. I never planned on this when I went to school. One random day I was asked by a friend to help his wife whom had been diagnosed with ALS. The tears of fear, burden, embarrassment and lack of self worth she endured tore me to shreds. I quickly reversed all of that with the extreme amount of patience I have, the way I handled situations and encouraged her intelligence, ideas and beauty. It wound up turning into my need to having her in my life. Since then, in 2006 I have been steadily helping the ALS community with open arms and a humbled heart. Caregiving is something that I loved accidentally. I pay attention to detail so much that it made since why I gravitated so easily to this, having one on one care provides detailed superior care where you can focus and that person has all their needs and wants met unlike nursing homes or adult daycares. I take pride in my work and skills and one on one care allowed me to complete that. That gives me a since of inner self accomplishment. I feel to my core that caregiving is a relationship that has the gift of helping each other.

I am a licensed nurse with 20 years experience in geriatric care.I find helping the elderly fulfilling. I am experienced in all aspects of personal care as well as skilled nursing. I am honest and dependable with excellent references.
