Our CAREGiver of the Month for October 2012 is Cindy!
Cindy is very accommodating when it comes to meeting clients requests. On many occasions she's gone that extra mile to meet a client’s wishes and for that we are thankful to have a CAREGiver like her.
What has been your favorite moment with a client?
I don't have one particular favorite moment, as each moment is special. Some of those special moments with my clients are going swimming, shopping together, telling jokes and laughing until we cry and singing in the car while going for a drive. Listening to stories of their childhood and growing up can be a real history lesson. Also, being there with them while they are at a difficult appointment is rewarding. The most special moments are the smiles I see from my clients.
Why did you decide to become a caregiver?
I was looking for a career change, and having looked after family members, I decided to try being a caregiver. Now, at the end of my day, I go home with a warm feeling in my heart knowing I have made a difference in someone’s life. With that, I know I made the right choice in careers.
What advice would you give to a new CAREGiver?
Be yourself and treat your clients as you would like to be treated. Have a positive attitude, be happy and most importantly, smile - it's contagious.
Thank you Cindy for all your hard work!
