Does anyone needs or know someone who needs a personal caregiver?

Please let know just spreading the word. Thank you!

From my experience of 7 years, working with other professional caregivers, clients, and families, the characteristics of me being a good caregiver would include: Demonstrating empathy and compassion for the senior, Supporting the patient's family members, who may be struggling to cope with their loved one's decline, Committing to professional growth and continuing education, Being reliable, including arriving for work on time and fulfilling all duties in a timely manner, Respecting patients' privacy and dignity, Exhibiting a positive demeanor and kind tone of voice, Being considerate and kind when working with the patient, Being mindful of the fact that I'm working in a senior's or their family's, private home. Using good communication skills with both the patient and the family, Having a well-kept personal appearance, including following professional dress code, Acting as a personal supporter for my client and their family during difficult times :)

I became a caregiver because I have always has an urge for helping people who truly need it the most, i am open, friendly, caring, kind, and that's what makes me a great caregiver. I enjoy being able to bring joy and happiness into their lives, being able to listen to their stories, and most of all knowing i am someone who they can trust and depend upon when necessary.
