January CAREGiver of the Month

Navi is our first CAREGiver of the month for 2015! She has been a caregiver with us since June, 2013. She is such a happy person and is always laughing. Navi never turns down a shift that is offered to her, including last minute shifts. She even took extra shifts over the holiday season. We asked her why she decided to become a caregiver, her most memorable moments, advice for new caregivers and what she likes to do when she’s not working.

“I grew up with extended family and from my childhood I have seen my mom and aunt helping our elder relatives and young cousins also who were recovering from leg, eye surgeries, and even newborn babies. Our home was like a little nursing home. So I learnt from my parents how amazing it feels helping others. Now I feel that same way when my loving clients gives me so many lovely blessings.
 
To me, my clients are like my family and my parents. I like when they share their feelings with me that makes me very happy. Most memorable time for me when they ask me, “will you be my daughter or can I adopt you?" Every single client I’ve had till now. They make me feel special to them.
 
 
I would like to say to my new friends "Patience is the key" in this job. There is a good times and bad times also. So just don’t take it personal. Give them your best.
 
 
During my day off I just like to spend time with my little son and specially talking to my daughter who is in India with my husband. I hope soon they will be here.”

Thanks very Navi! We are lucky to have such a happy and caring person working with our clients.
