This week's caregiver of the week is Faith N! Faith has been working for Synergy HomeCare for about 8 months and her favorite part about her job is meeting new people and helping them with their daily tasks. In her free time, Faith enjoys spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, and enjoys photography. Her favorite movie is “Stand By Me” and her favorite book is “1984” by George Orwell. Faith’s motivation to do her best as a home care aide is that she wants each client to be cared for as if they were her own loved ones. To the caregivers that are just starting out, Faith has some advice. “Enjoy your clients and try to make a difference in their lives during each shift you have with them.” Thank you for everything you do Faith!

This week's caregiver of the week is April F! April has been with Synergy HomeCare for about 8 months but has been in the homecare field for almost 20 years! When she was 13 she volunteered at a nursing home where her grandmother worked and that is when she realized that was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life and she loves it. April’s favorite part about her job is meeting the clients, hearing their stories, and learning something new just about everyday from them. In her free time, April enjoys spending time with her three children, going to the beach, and watching her son play soccer for Lycoming College. Her favorite movies are Dirty Dancing, Footloose, and Sweet Home Alabama. Her favorite book is “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks and she highly recommends it to everyone, but make sure you have a lot of tissues! April’s motivation to do her best as a homecare aid is knowing that she is making a difference in someone’s life everyday, no matter how big or small. To the caregivers that are just starting out, April has some advice. “Be patient, kind, and treat the client as if they were one of your family members.” Thank you for everything you do April! We couldn’t do it without you! 💞
