    I started to watch my parents and their friend's age. I could see the need for people who had patience, kindness, and the calling to work in a challenging and rewarding field. I was ready to make a difference in people's lives as well as to make a difference in my life. I enjoy the one on one interaction with the clients. I ask myself " How can I bring some joy into this person's life today?" "What can I do to give support and comfort?" I try to think of how I would want my parent's cared for. I have 25 years of care giving, 5 with seniors. I am trained and have worked with hospice, MS, Stroke, ALS, physical and developmental disabilities, autism and Alzheimer's. I do all aspects of daily care; cooking, cleaning, bathing, transferring patients, running errands and driving to doctor's appointments. I am currently a licensed CNA, I am certified in Heart Health CPR, Health Care First Aid, Blood Path and Oxygen. and I have attended seminars on Alzheimer's and Dementia at Brenau College in Gainesville GA. I very much enjoy what I do. I feel that I bring patience, kindness, and a cheerful attitude to work each day. All of my paperwork is up to date, TB test, back ground check, driving record and education information if needed. I am also willing to travel. I can provide excellent references. Please feel free to contact me. I would love to talk with you and see if we are a good fit. Thank you for your consideration, Judy:)

    I'm a very loving and compassionate man, married with 3 children, i took care of my Grandmother for about 9 years till she passed away, i have had great paying factory jobs after my grandma passed away and my passion wasn't in it and thats when i knew that i was a legit caregiver. I take pride in my work and always willing to learn. I took very great care of my Grandmother and those who i take care of now. My current job would definitely recommend me, i offer excellent service to 16 residents and i can only imagine what i have learned over the years what i can offer to one or a smaller group of people. Also Caregiving doesn't feel like a job to me,it's what's needed.
