CAREGiver of the Month
Jennifer has been with Home Instead Senior Care since October 2012. She is a wonderful caregiver and always finds ways to connect with her clients. When one of her clients was in the hospital she made sure that the husband, also a client, was able to see his wife. She took the husband on the bus so that the couple was able to be together for a short visit. Jennifer always goes above and beyond in her care towards her clients. We appreciate Jennifer for her dedication and all that she does!
Why did you decide to become a CAREGiver?
I didn't decide to become
a caregiver, it just came to me naturally. Being able to help people in
need is satisfying. Knowing that I can help them and give the best that
they deserve makes me happy. At the end of the day, I come home thinking
that I was able to make their lives a little easier and worth living.
What is your most memorable moment(s) with your clients?
My memorable moment with
my client is when my client gets agitated, frustrated or confused and I am able
to redirect her agitations, frustrations or confusions into something
meaningful to her or him. It can either suggesting a game to play, a walk
outside, or just a conversation.
What advice do you have for any new CAREGivers?
There is nothing more
than giving your heart and your best to the client. Even clients with
advance Alzheimer’s could feel your genuine heart, so give it to them, they
deserve it.
