What’s the best advice you can give to someone who just started their career in this field?
My advice for someone who just started a career in this field would be that they know caregiving can feel overwhelming, but the right personal qualities as much as technical skills can help them do very well on the job. Specifically, for me, below 5 qualities have kept me going as a caregiver:
1. Empathy - I am able to understand and share the feelings of my clients. I show genuine compassion and this builds trust and comfort.
2. Patience - I know that caregiving often involves repetitive tasks, slow progress, or dealing with challenging behaviors. So, I stay calm and patient to help provide consistent, respectful care.
3. Good Communication Skills - I try to clearly communicate with my colleagues, clients, families, and healthcare professionals. I understand that listening carefully is just as important as speaking. Also, I believe that accurate and timely documentation ensures continuity in care giving.
4. Reliability (Dependability) - I understand my clients depend on me for daily needs. So I am punctual, consistent, and trustworthy in my role as a caregiver.
5. Adaptability - I understand that every client is different, and situations can change quickly. So I am flexible and willingly adjust my approach.​
​
What is the most memorable moment with the company so far?
What has been my most memorable moment in this company was when I gained the client's acceptance through applying attributes listed above. I was rewarded and encouraged by management.
​
Where would you most like to travel to and why?
As a nature lover, I would like to be at the Waterton Lakes National Park - (in the immediate), for quiet relaxation and low-cost adventure viewing stunning mountains, lakes, and wildlife
Otherwise, in a near-future travel, it would be the Garden of Gethsemane (Israel) for relaxation, reflection and faith.
