I have come to love this job because it has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me. But especially the joy of being able to give to people who need some extra help and comfort. The best part about being a Home Health Aide for me is the sense of fulfillment that you gain from working in this field. You feel like you are making a difference in someone's life, which in turn, makes you feel good about yourself. I have worked with clients with ailments such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer and stroke. Usually my task will include assisting with showers, assisting with dressing, meal preparation, medication reminder, light housekeeping and grocery shopping. I can easily cope with new challenges, and interact effectively with people that I haven't worked with yet. I am also willing to go beyond expectations when it comes to work and being involved.
