Caregiving Story

My Client

Location: Racine, WI
Age: 89
Cared for by: Tammy Benson
Years of Care: 17
I take care of a lady at work and she is so nice and loving. We share stories together, laugh together, and have serious talks together. When she is down I try to boost her up with something positive. Hugs are important and caring is very important as a caregiver or CNA. I have done both. I am certified as a CNA and love taking care of people. I want the client to be happy, comfortable with me, feel safe, and know they are taken care of properly.
