There's so much I love about my job. I get to help people every single day. Many people ask me or say ‘I don't know how you do that job’ but I just can't even begin to tell them how amazing our job is.

I'm so passionate about my role and put 110% in because I truly believe these people deserve it. And if I can put a smile on people's faces in the process that makes it even more worthwhile !

It’s good to talk with residents and to know what they want. We work hard for them as if we would work for our parents. Because we work every day with them they become like our family.
