🌟 CAREGIVER SPOTLIGHT - ANNA 🌟
Today, we’re shining a spotlight on one of the amazing caregivers who brings compassion, patience, and heart to Functional Lifestyle Solutions.
Tell us a little about yourself. What are some things you're passionate about outside of caregiving?
- My name is Anna! I am a very family-oriented individual. As one of six children, I have found that I love being surrounded by people especially my loved ones! I carry a lot of different roles in my life: a sister, an aunt, a girlfriend, a soldier, a caregiver, and a nursing student. I love everything that I do! Outside of caregiving, I am a bookworm! I love reading, it’s how I decompress and reset. I also love to go on hikes! I enjoy being out in nature and getting a breath of fresh air.
How did you become involved in caregiving, and what has that journey meant to you?
- My caregiving journey first started when I joined the Army almost 7 years ago! I enlisted as a Combat Medic and from there fell in love with helping others. In my 7 years, I have done mostly emergency medicine and have enjoyed it all so much. When I switched to Army Reserves, I saw it as my opportunity to begin my nursing school journey. Now in my final semester of school, I have found that I would like to continue in my journey in the geriatric community. I have come to love the work that I get to do with Functional Lifestyle Solutions! I love being able to provide care and companionship to my clients. I have a special relationship with all my clients and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
What is a life lesson caregiving has taught you?
- Caregiving has taught me a lot of different life lessons. The most meaningful lesson it has taught me is to always treat a patient/client like you would want your own family member to be treated. We all at one point or another in our life will require caregiving and I have learned that when you have/give great caregiving it makes a difference. It allows the family to breathe and feel comforted that they can entrust the care of their loved ones to you. It allows them to enjoy their time with less stress or worry and I know that means a lot.
Thank you, Anna! We appreciate your hard work and we are so grateful to have you as part of our team! 💜
