I look at my clients like they're family. I treat everyone with respect. I always wanted to stay in the medical field. You meet new people and they tell you different stories about their life. I enjoy spending time with them and bonding with them. They share things with you meet the family it's a different type of feeling. It touch me to my heart when I finally got my client to go on the porch which she haven't since I started.
