I've been in the home care field for 2 years now, and find it very rewarding. I'm very patient, have an immense amount of empathy when dealing with clients -which is a must in this line of work. I know I would want myself or my loved ones to be treated with the utmost care.. which is what drives me to provide outstanding care to my clients. My grandmother has dementia, I help care for her sometimes - so I know firsthand of what it entails. Home care was a different field of work for me, but I was curious to see what it was like. I didn't know what to expect, but surprisingly I really enjoyed it. The most rewarding part of my job is developing long lasting friendships with not only my clients, but their families as well. It's hard for me to not become invested in the people that I work for. :)
