WHAT DO YOU LIKE most ABOUT BEING A CAREGIVER?
The nurturing and to see that they get better, as better as they can get from their condition. And some of the wisdom that they tell you, I just take it in my life and add that in my life. So, I've heard a lot of different stories from the elderly people, even when I was much younger and I said, "Oh, that's good. I think I'll use that.”
I became a caregiver because I think it was my calling in life. I've actually done it all my life and didn't know I was doing it. So when I look back, I can see I was doing the same thing as a young person that I'm doing now.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT WORKING AT HOME HELPERS OF BRADENTON?
The concern you guys have about the clients and if I have a problem, I can call you and somebody gets back with me really quick. I've had good response like that. I really didn't have to wait, wait and wait. Somebody got right back with me.
Your missions and your vision and your core values to be true. I went over them and read what everything said, I just “yeah, that's them.”
