Summary

My role as a caregiver was definitely the most rewarding job I’ve ever had. I worked at summerset on level 2 caring for paitents who required full assistance daily. This included some hoisting, monitoring fluids, two hourly toileting and charting. It wasn’t all about getting the elderly ready for the day to me it was being able to communicate with each individual, help him/her manage how they are feeling that day. I was all about forming a bond, earning trust, sharing my own story’s, making everyone laugh, feel happy and feel like he/she had a purpose. I’m a very independent, highly focused, positive professional. I want to be able to give back, by helping our elderly they are the ones who need it the most.
