Stroke Caregivers in Mattoon - 10 caregivers found

I love being a CNA because it gives me the opportunities to get to know other people, help them with their needs, make new friendships and more education. As a CNA, I am a very positive person, willing to take on new challenges, will always take my time with any cares i'm doing to make sure that it's being done properly. I wanted to always be in the medical field, and being a CNA is a huge part in the medical field and it's so awesome how you can change a person day and their life even just by taking the time to even have a conversation with them. This job requires a lot out of you physically and mentally, but for me, it's all worth it to see them happy, healthy, and satisfied with how i'm taking care of them.

I have worked in health care since 2000. I have worked as a developmental trainer for the disabled, in the alzhimers unit, long term care facilities, in home care. I got my CNA certificate in 2010. I enjoy helping those that need my assistance to live a happy normal life.

I am one of a kind, since i have been young i have always wanted to help others..That why i picked my profession in healthcare, who wouldnt love me, im very friendly, loving, caring individual that light up a room.. what attracted me to being a caregiver is the joy in happiness i gave to the clients, patients, in there family by doing my job. What i love most is the clients in being there for them in making there day joyful in happy. Being in this field is an achievement for me just chnging peoples lifes in continuing to still be able to do that for other when they have nobody.

I love helping others who need a little or a lot of assistance. I enjoy the happiness I see in the person's face when someone is willing to do something for them. I have a huge heart and compassionate one. I wanted to help people as much as I could after taking care of my mother after she had 2 strokes. I would do this out of pure love for her and would do the same for anyone else who needed it. I would hope that if I was to someday need any assistance , someone with a loving heart and compassion would do the same for me.

I enjoy taking care people. I believe that this is my calling in life. I believe that no matter what your disability is that there still life to be lived. If there something that you still want to do ,but can't physically there is always a way to make that happen. I have always treated my clients as if she they were my family member with dignity and respect. I have 24 years of experience. It's not just a job for me, it's my calling. I enjoy people & life. I am a registered caregiver with the state of Illinois. I've had a full handprint background check with the state of Illinois and on the registry.

I love being able to make a difference in people's health but if also worked with hospice clients as well and the only difference with that is your job is to make them comfortable

Hello. My name is Bobbie Jo. I have been working with clients.. keeping them home for over 20 years! I love working with this generation! I treat my clients as I would treat my parents!

Hi there! I am a 32 year old mother of 2. I live in Bethany with my 10 year old daughter and 8 year old son. I have always loved caring for others, no matter their age or needs. I find giving yourself to someone else in your profession is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling! I especially have a tender spot for the elderly. As a girl I volunteered in nursing homes my mama was employed by. She's a nurse of 18 years and opened the door to this world for me. I immediately fell in love with providing care and knew this was my calling in life. I am CPR certified, and have performed CPR successfully once after a patient suffered a heart attack. I am also certified in home care, Alzheimer's Disease, communicable disease, bathing/grooming, and transferring. I am able to perform glucose checks, manage oxygen use, take blood pressures, and perform range of motion. I am trained in creating and carrying out care plans as well as shift charting. My most recent patient has passed away, leaving me to find someone to devote myself to. I was with him for approximately 7 years, and the loss has been difficult. After taking some time to grieve, I am now ready to move forward and continue the line of work I am so passionate about. I am a very compassionate, caring woman. ...quick to smile and love to laugh. I am incredibly detail oriented and very reliable. I understand the importance of patience and building a foundation of trust, while giving consideration to each individual's needs and wants. It's never only about what someone needs. What a person wants is just as important, and if at all possible to safely give them that, I feel the effort should be made. My goal is to provide the medical care my patient needs, while also being a companion and allowing them to remain in their home where they feel safe and secure in their surroundings.

Growing up I really didn't think much of what I wanted to do with my life. Well that all changed after my neighbor who was an older guy asked If I would help me with light house duties and errors to earn a little extra money. I feel in love with what I was doing and decided that I want to go for my CNA. Now 4 years later, I am still a CNA and absolutely love my job as well as everything that comes with it! I am married to a wonderful husband and a mother of 3 children. I am very loving caring and out going. I do my best to cheer my residents up when they are sad as well as try to get a good laugh in to keep me from going completely insane. I love spending one on one time being able to talk and get an understanding of everything my residents have been through. I get really attached with my residents and develop a family like relationship. I am very sure you will be very happy and content with me and the care I provide. As well as he/she will be very happy that I am someone that has a heart of pure care.
