At 6:45 a. m., I make my first appointment of the day to see 88-year-old Florence. She lives on her own and needs help to start her day. Although my duty starts at 7 a. m. . I always get there earlier as I know Florence who is easy-going will be looking out of the window, waiting for me.
 For many of my clients(客户), I am the only person they will see in a day, so it's important to make sure they know they are the focus of my attention during a visit.
 I help Florence get washed and dressed and make her breakfast. I tidy her surroundings and make sure she is settled, safe and secure. But most importantly, I talk to her and listen to how she is feeling.
We see many reports about "clock-watch care", where visits are limited to 15 minutes or less. It would be impossible for me to get anything done that is of value to people in this short time.
I often spend at least 30 minutes with each client, which means I can get to know their unusual qualities rather than just see them as a list of care needs.
Caring for people to is a responsibility and I feel proud to be given that trust. I was inspired to work in home care after caring for my husband and my mother during their illnesses before they died, so I know the importance of helping people feel as comfortable as possible in an environment that means something to them.
There are huge positives to work in home care --- it's a career(事业) where you can get a sense of personal achievement from knowing you are helping other people. The opportunity to do something good to others in need is a wonderful and rewarding experience.
