Junessa is our
CAREGiver of the month for March. Junessa has been with us since December of
2013. What we love about Junessa is that she has the patience of a saint, and
that she builds strong relationships with the clients and their families. She
communicates with the families of the clients so well that they really come to
rely on her to keep them updated on the status of their loved ones.
We asked her what made her decide to become a CAREGiver.
Helping others
is my nature. Because I care and I am proud to be able to. I just love my job.
I was a caregiver to my grandparents back home and no words can explain
how happy they were when I’m around.
What is your
most memorable or happiest moment(s) with your clients?
That was when my
client told me that she treated me as her own daughter because she knows how
much I care and love her. That was an awesome feeling! Knowing that your client
is so happy with what you are doing for her.
What advice do
you have for any new CAREGivers?
Being a
caregiver is a challenging one. Love and respect your client as your own family
member. If you hear negative things from them, just don’t take it personally.
Believe me, they don’t mean it. Lastly, remain dedicated to your job whatever
the consequences will be.
What do you
enjoy doing on your days off? Hobbies you have or groups that you belong to?
When I’m not
working, I am a caregiver to my two sons ages 6 and 2 years old. I just love
being with my family if I am not working. Also, whenever I have free
time I just love to read about health. It helps me to learn more and apply
it to my job if possible.
Well, Junessa....keep doing exactly what you have been doing. The clients, their families and we appreciate all that you do! Thank you!
