March CAREGiver of the Month

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!
