Richard . Care Companion in Cheyenne, WY 82010

I love being a caregiver because it allows me to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others every single day. Caregiving is not simply a job for me—it is a calling rooted in compassion, patience, and the belief that everyone deserves dignity, respect, and comfort. The relationships I build with clients and their families are deeply rewarding, as I have the privilege of not only assisting with daily needs but also offering emotional support, encouragement, and companionship. These connections create moments of joy and trust, which are at the heart of my commitment to this profession.

My caregiving experience spans several years and includes working with individuals who have diverse needs, from older adults requiring companionship to people with disabilities who need assistance with personal care, transportation, medication reminders, and meal preparation. I have supported clients in home environments, residential care settings, and community programs. This range of experience has given me the ability to adapt to different situations, understand the unique preferences of each individual, and respond effectively to changes in care needs. I have also worked with veterans, individuals with chronic illnesses, and those recovering from surgery, ensuring they receive attentive, personalized support.

My skills and training reflect both professional education and hands-on experience. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, trained in safe transfer techniques, and knowledgeable in medication administration protocols. I possess strong communication skills, which allow me to interact effectively with clients, family members, and healthcare providers. Additionally, I have received specialized training in working with individuals with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and intellectual disabilities. My organizational abilities enable me to manage schedules, coordinate care, and maintain accurate documentation while ensuring that each client’s environment is safe, clean, and comfortable.

Above all, I approach caregiving with empathy, integrity, and professionalism. I believe in treating each person as I would want my own family to be treated—with kindness, patience, and understanding. Whether I am preparing a meal, accompanying someone to a medical appointment, or simply sitting and listening, I strive to bring positivity and reassurance to each interaction.
