About Claire

I am a duty conscious caregiver with a high sense of responsibility shown through assiduity and patience for three years. Experienced in providing excellent care for seniors and clients with illnesses and disabilities, with a very high sense of team spirit by lending a listening ear and considering others. I got into care giving without knowing I could build a career in it. It all started with taking care of my late grandfather with Alzheimer. He passed on in my arms. This gave me so much joy and made my mom and family so proud. To me, everybody, senior or those who have lost their independence is family. I mostly enjoy the fact that family members can confidently leave their loved ones in my care and go about their other activities without fear. I always fill so fulfilled when family members call my agency to ask if I can be sent back to them and made permanent. This is what happened with one of my clients. She was a 93 years old nice lady whose eleven children had been looking for a fitting caregiver. Before I came, she had rejected four caregivers within six weeks. I worked for two days, and she called two of her daughters asking them to ask my agency if I could go permanent with her. This was done. I cared for her like she was family to me, her children considered me like their little sister. For the fourteen months I worked with her, she was admitted into the hospital three times. Even while she was in the hospital, and did not really need our services, her children preferred to keep paying me sometimes for a month, because they never wanted me to be sent to another client. The day she passed on, one of her daughters called me, and later called to give me the funeral program. I was there for the wake, viewing, burial, reception and I was also invited for the family gathering. I still have a souvenir of hers given to me as a thank you from her family. I am proud and happy I could give her the care needed for her last days in the comfort of her house.

I put my heart into what I do, especially when taking care of people. I put myself in people's 'shoes', and treat them the way I would want to be treated. I will like someone to take care of me when I'm incapable of doing so myself. I enjoy the self satisfaction of helping people have a better quality of life. I love hearing the positive feedbacks from my clients and employers!
