I became a Caregiver in 1989,because I've always enjoyed being around the Seniors,they seem to always have a smile on their face,and have great stories to tell about their life... What I like most about being a caregiver is being able to help keep them in their home,with some assistance.I enjoy spending time with them,usually because their loved ones are to busy,or out of state... Of my many achievements,the one that stands out is,the seniors seem to feel very comfortable with me,It seems I'm taken in as their family member,which is a huge compliment to me. I take my time with my clients,listening to them,as to what they need in their home. having patience with the seniors is a must.Lending a hand when we're up walking.I enjoy when the Senior men tell me their war stories,their face lights up.I just love being a caregiver,I'm very passionate about this business.And when they have a pet,I always enjoy taking their pet for walks,hopefully with them also.
