She takes the time to listen, comfort, and offer emotional support, fostering an environment of trust and security. Elizabeth said about her relationships with clients, “The conversation and companionship we have is the greatest reward. I love learning about their childhood and it definitely helps them to have someone to talk to and hear them”. Each client has their own unique life story with ups and downs, and Elizabeth embraces being able to bond with them through these walks down memory lane.
Whether it’s accompanying a client to medical appointments, helping with household chores, or providing companionship during difficult times, she consistently surpasses expectations. She knows how important being on time and having consistency is for each client. “Not only for their health but also because they look forward to seeing you!”, Elizabeth explains.
