My name is Ariel and I am the oldest of 5. I was naturally a caregiver growing up but found that geriatrics/ Alzheimer's/Dementia is where my heart is at. The thing I love most about being a caregiver is that I get to learn about each person and find ways to make them happy and to help them feel that taking care of someone that needs help is a pleasure and not a burden. I like the fact that I make each resident feel heard and understood. I am compassionate, fun, and creative. I have moved throughout caregiving, Activities, resident relations director, and home health. I feel in order to be a great caregiver, you must be able to have great attention to detail and a heightened awareness of how someone is feeling regardless of whether or not they can tell you or communicate it.
