I find it interesting to tap into their lives and listen to what great things they can offer me as well.

    I am very a compassionate, hard working, honest , responsible, dependable person , I am easy to get along with , I have the personality of the caregiver,I do my best to meet the needs of my clients , I treat my clients with respect and dignity, I have 18 years plus of experience working with seniors, and I have the skill needed to do a very good job , until now all my clients are very satisfacted with my work , and all of them like me and so far I never had a client I didn't liked either . I love my job , it brings me so much satisfaction to be able to help someone who need help and make their life easier and more pleasant, and I will always do my best to take care of my clients with a loving heart. Most family these day are looking for younger caregiver, maybe this is the reason I haven't been hired as a caregiver, but I had noticed that the families are posting here the same job over and over,and I wonder if they ever choose the right caregiver , I wished someone give me the opportunity to offer my services , my experience and my knowledge and am sure they will be pleased with my services . Thanks for the opportunity. Sincerely Deyanira Kanoa.

    I receive a lot of gratitude from helping others. I especially enjoy helping the elderly. I cherish the friendships I make on my job. Even after some of my clients go to other agencies we remain friends. I have even been known to assist my clients on my days off if they are in need. I am a very caring and compassionate person. I don't treat my clients as a \"job\" , but I try to get to know them as a person. I take interest in their lives and needs. I treat each client as if they were my parent or family member. I would not have been in this field for 30 years for the pay. I do it for the satisfaction of helping others. The best achievement on my job was when I helped one of my clients that was choking. His wife just hugged me and kept saying thank God you were here. As I stated I have been doing this type of work for over 30 years. I have made and lost many friends throughout this time. I go above and beyond what is ask of my employer. I used to take a client's dog to the groomer on my days off, because she could not drive. I have bought them food with my own money until their checks came in. I really enjoy helping others and gain a lot of self gratitude from just a thank you.
