Renal and Urological Disorders Caregivers in Chippewa County - 6 caregivers found

I became a caregiver because I enjoy working with the elderly. I like being a caregiver because I care about the elderly and I want to make a difference in their everyday life. A personal achievement that I am proud of is long term. My lifetime goal is to work to help people live the remainder of their life feeling safe, loved, and happy. I live in Thorp Wisconsin with my husband Jeff and two dogs. We enjoy listening to music and spending time with our families.

I am a 38 year old female, I have been a CNA for almost 15 years now. I have enjoyed most of my experience working in adult family homes. I have one son, 19, I will be moving to Illinois with the love of my life in February 2019. I am currently looking for employment so when I get there, I'm all ready to start work! I enjoy taking care of people and have always been a good ear to listen. I love the outdoors fishing hunting and camping. I also love to cook!

I originally took the CNA course just to satisfy a RN school prerequisite. As it turns out, I got my permit and began working the summer before I was supposed to start nursing school. Never managed to pass nursing school but after some time that fact didn't really matter; I realized I was having a blast at being an aide. I get to have full patient contact, get to know everyone. I realized just how important being an advocate for patients I am responsible for caring for is. I do a job not many people can do. I have had supervisors, family members et al admit that fact. It is nice to be needed, wanted but most of all, trusted. I tend to build a repo ire with patients and their family members and address their concerns within my scope or relay those concerns to appropriate professionals.

I am Wisconsin certified nursing assistant. Currently I am going to nursing school and I expect to graduate in 4 semesters. I worked in hospitals, nursing homes, and have over a year of experience as private caregiver.

I became a caregiver initially as I was applying to nursing school and needed a CNA license. I instantly fell in love with the hands on patient care aspect of my job. I truly enjoy being able to connect with my residents and give them the respect and level of care they deserve. While working with the elderly I strive to treat them as I would my own grandparents. In fact, the summer after my freshman year of college, I moved in with my grandfather who had advanced stage Parkinson's disease to be his primary caregiver. Having worked with several residents who's Parkinson's stages ranged from newly diagnosed to advanced stages, as well as having an Alzheimer's Association certification, I felt well prepared to handle his needs. Although he passed after a few short months, I am very proud that I was able to let him stay in his home as he desired and make his last few months the best they could be. I am a last semester social work student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. I have an American Sign Language certificate and am BLS certified as well. My hobbies include traveling, hockey, hiking, fishing and spending time with my family. My grandfather taught me many things in life but the most important was to treat everyone the way you would like to be treated.

I became a caregiver (CNA) in hopes of owning an assisted living business. I enjoy taking care of other people, especially those that NEED the care. I have patience. I am gentle and I am strong. I am a male.
