I started as a Candy Striper when I was 12. I spent my life being told I was an old soul in a young body. Guess that's what draws seniors to me. There's nothing any more rewarding than watching your client smile and laugh! There's nothing anymore hurtful than not being able to help a client when you know and see their in pain or hurting. As we age and can no longer drive someone has to be the bad guy and take driving away. It's so hard to take that independence away from someone. I prefer to be the bad guy I'm not the love one. No need in the client being upset with his loved ones. I always tell them from now on you have a chauffeur. I believe you treat people the way you would want to be treated!! I'm in the process of get my Independent Provider Number through the Ohio Department of Medicaid. My background has been done twice in less than a year through the State of Ohio BCI.
