I feel it is very important to listen to the client and do my best to make him or her happy. When I dust and clean I like to place the clients belongings where the client wants them. I don't rearrange belongings or throw out anything without being told to. Always when I am in a clients home I keep safety in mind. I have a good memory and can think quickly. I am very patient and always calm in an emergency. I was my mom's full time caregiver for 5 months til she passed from breast cancer. It bothered me when I'd be with my mom getting tests done and we would see people who were alone. No family or friend with them to help them. Not even there to drive them to and from never mind being there to help them stay calm when they're worried and scared. I wanted to change that. I am currently a home healthcare companion. I have been taking referrals from a home healthcare agency. I love helping people. My clients tell me I make a difference in their lives. I like saying yes one of my clients said, April, you always say yes no matter what I ask. I treat my clients like I would want to be treated.
