Stroke Caregivers in Waldo County - 15 caregivers found

I always love helping my elderly clients & families with companionship, household tasks, sweeping, mopping, helping clients complete their activities of daily living each day! I decided to become a caregiver when I was 18, I have always loved helping family's provide care for there loved ones! I have had current personal support specialist license in the state of maine since 2006.

Hi there!!!! I have always had a passion for helping others. Whether it was taking a position in a daycare or public school or assisted living or residential home; I have been working in the human service field for as long as I was legally able too! And before I jumped into the workforce, I babysat children in my community since 11 years old; so being a caregiver has always come naturally to me. During my 20's while studying to obtain my bachelors degree, I worked as a PSS for seven years for two home health care agencies. I absolutely loved working with clients in their homes, as I'm able to provide exceptional care in the environment that they feel most comfortable. I find it extremely rewarding to help others in need. In my opinion, the elderly are the most vulnerable population to be financially and physically abused, and it's important for caregivers to advocate, so that they are able to receive the proper care the later years of their lives. I enjoy working with a client in home, as I find that everyone has their own culture and it's fascinating to learn about someone's past life experiences. I think it is very important to be open minded, and I would fully respect my clients way of living and not show judgment. I have great communication skills and can adapt to whatever style of communication my client prefers. I take constructive criticism very seriously; I want to make sure I am giving the best care, but more importantly the right care, for what my clients personalized needs are. I promise to treat my clients with dignity and respect, while providing them support so that they are able to continue living successfully and safely, in the comfort of their own homes.

I am patient , Hardworking , Honest , Professional , Dependable. I love the elderly also it is rewarding experience not just a job. I advocate for the Elderly also Adults with Disabilities another one of my rewarding and passionate experiences . I was nominated for the Obudsman Award for an outstanding Professional in the Healthcare field in 1990 by Bethany Lawrence Founder , Owner , President of Aging Excellence whom I worked for 11 years.

I describe myself as an outgoing, compassionate person with a ton of empathy. I started realizing I wanted to be a caregiver at the age of 9. I accompanied my mother to her job during the summers. She was the manager for Eastern Agency on Aging and provided weekly lunch and bingo activities for a group of elderly people. I really enjoyed helping people and the people I helped were extremely appreciative. I felt very rewarded, even at that young age. I had children young, became a CNA at the age of 23 and have been working in different settings with a geriatric population ever since.

At the small age of 9 i would help my aunt take care of my Great grandmother. Dressing and feeding and just being there for her. I've always wanted to be someones light in their darkest times. Taking great care of people is what I know. I've done caregiving my whole life and I always enjoy meeting new people and hearing the stories of how life used to be. I believe everyone deserves to have a good life even better a great ending. No one should ever feel unloved or wanted when they need help. I want to make life easier for other's, as we know illness doesn't make anything easy. I moved to lincolnville to help take care of a family member before corona. She had dementia and Alzheimer's as well as DVT. She passed away october 2020. She was and is an amazing soul. To put it simply, I love what I do and I love to help anyway i possibly can.

Hello everyone, My name is Ashley and I have about 7 years of experience being a caregiver. I provide companionship, housekeeping, medication reminders, errands, hygiene, transfers, meal prep and much more! I enjoy being a caregiver because it's important to me that I help individuals continue to stay as independent as possible so they are able to remain in their homes.

I decided that I would want to be a care giver when I watched the amazing care they provided for my grandmother when she had a surgery
