About Erica

Patience. People who need care often take longer to complete simple tasks. ... Compassion. Empathy and understanding are absolutely necessary. ... Humor. ... Being Present. ... Detail Oriented. ... Able to Accept Help. ... Willing to Set Boundaries. ... Helping others helps us feel good about ourselves. Your caregiving work is all about assisting others, consistent with who they are and what they need. The work that you do helps clients improve their functioning and well-being. Being a caregiver can make a huge difference in people's lives. By providing companionship and emotional support, caregiving makes other's lives less lonely and more joyful. It also helps them stay connected with their community and remain independent for longer periods of time.
