My name is Jane. I'm a home health aide. I've bring working in this field for 10 years. I'm honest and trustworthy.

I love taking care of people makin their day the best it can be. I'm very kind, patient, and trustworthy.

Background: !![?]experience with the elderly, autism, medical complexities and more I am a paraprofessional for students with special needs. I have experience with cerebral palsy, autism, handling g tubes, neuromuscular disorders, type 1 diabetes (have it myself as well), epilepsy, and Cornelia de Lange syndrome. I also have 5+ years of experience with the elderly and have experience with dementia, diabetes, dialysis, stroke victims, bathing/ dressing, toileting, transfers, hoyer lift, gait belt, lift to stand, and meal preparation. I am a non smoker, located in Union(but willing to travel), and have excellent references! I'm also studying Social Work online at Missouri State University.

I believe I am a great caregiver because I genuinely care for the people I take care of and treat them as if they were my own family. I want them to be happy when they see me and be able to confidently say I take good care of them. A few years ago, I never saw myself doing this type of work whatsoever. I honestly really needed a job and a local nursing home hired me and took me through classes to get certified! I found myself there for over a year and I knew almost everyone by name on all of the halls. I had a special bond with one lady in particular and she always loved seeing me come into her room. She always made sure to tell me how good I'm doing. Overall, just knowing I am helping those who cannot help themselves gives me some sense of purpose and it makes me feel good. You get close to the people you take care of and they become like a grandma or grandpa to you. My favorite part about having a little extra time and sitting down to talk to some of the residents. I'm fascinated by what things were like 50+ years ago and hearing all about their life and experiences. I also enjoy looking at pictures with them. Every single one of them have different quarks and personalities and it's so fun talking to some of them. I am most proud of the way I can confidently say that I take GOOD care of my residents and that I do it for more than just a check. If I can go home with a clear mind and know for sure I did the best of my ability, I know I'm doing something right. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my mom or grandparents.

My top personality traits that help me be a great caregiver, is my level of patience, communication skills, and the simple fact that I genuinely care about the people that I work with. Even though it is a job I see it as an opportunity to learn new things, and gain new perspectives on life. I worked for comprehensive health care, and have loved it sense. My mother is a CNA and works in home health care, she helped me get into this line of work. I was afraid at first but I began to truly enjoy helping others, I love hearing their story's and giving them companionship. Recently, one lady I was taking care of passed away and you never know how much of an impact they have on you until that happens. It really opened up my mind and heart working with the elderly, I personally am proud of just being able to make people happy.

I like to help other. I have 5 children. I like for people to be able to stay in there homes as long as possible. I love hearing stories about people.

I'm a very loving caring happy friendly outgoing caregiver. That I feel is my calling and I am very passionate about what I do. I have never gotten a bad experience. and nothing is to much I can't handle. the thing I enjoy the most is giving my clients happiness! One of my personal achievement is I was the only person she would do anything for like exercise and she went from bed bound to walking again.

I love meeting new culture.. talks about about their culture .. and listen to to them ...and learning from them ..matching tv or movies with the residents playing cards with them anything's the make them feels comfortable and enjoying ther time etc. Because everyone Deserve that !!!

I love to be a caregiver because I enjoy helping others and having that companionship with the clients. I have been in the healthcare field since I was 17. My biggest personal achievement I am proud of is that I got my AAS degree in Medical Assisting and my certification as well. I plan to finish my dream of being a RN in the future.
