Some lovely comments from our Senior CAREGivers:

"I think I will be doing this until I need a carer myself. My life has become better since becoming a CAREGiver and I am proud to be part of the Home Instead family. I think people might be surprised about how rewarding being a CAREGiver is.”

"I love my job. I love the warm feeling I get inside when my client smiles and says "thank you". I love sharing memories with my clients and listening to their stories. I love having time to do my work properly and not feel rushed. I love being part of a team that makes a difference. In fact, my job doesn't often feel like 'work' really. That's why I love my job"
