What makes you a good companion?
“ My motto in life has always been, "Kindness is being someone who makes everyone feel like somebody". I don’t care where you come from or what your story is but I will always treat you with kindness, respect, and love. Its taken me many years to get to this point where I feel I have found my calling in life, I want to continue helping people, and I know I have what it takes.
In what skills area do you feel most qualified to be a companion?
“I know I can make a difference in their lives. I have learned so much from the incredible Hospice staff that came to check up on my mom when she was ill. I want to put what I learned to good use. I want to grow as a person. I want to make a difference.”
What makes you most excited about working with seniors?
“I feel in my heart that my calling in life is to assist the elderly. I have always had so much patience and love for them, I assist my hubby with his elderly patience and go and collect them from the retirement homes, I assist them with their hearing aids, etc. I have a close bond with all our patience.”
Your best day at work you've ever had and what made it so good?
“I have had many good days, just being able to bring a smile to someone's face by showing them kindness brings me so much joy. “
What’s the most interesting thing about you that we don’t know from your resume?
“I am involved with a charity for children, I bake for the children and assist where I can. To see those little faces light up, and knowing I made a small difference in their day makes me happy..”
