I love what I do! I love making a difference in someone's life - if I can make them laugh or smile then I've done my job!
If I can get my clients out of the house for shopping, appointments or even lunch then I'm helping them help me!
I love making new friends & having everlasting friendships with my clients and their families!
For the past 3 years I've been a caregiver for my neighbor's dad (he's 97), I was his morning caregiver (he had round the clock caregiving), I fed him breakfast and lunch, took him to church / bingo every Monday, we did his errands during the week and Fridays we did the library.
I really love my job as a caregiver!
