This month, SYNERGY HomeCare celebrates Brittany as our Caregiver of the Month! Brittany, a loving mother of two and a devoted wife of 10 years, has a heart for caregiving that started early in life.
While still in high school, Brittany lived and worked with her aunt, a licensed practical nurse (LPN). This experience sparked her passion for helping others, particularly the elderly and babies. Though she initially aspired to become a military nurse, Brittany decided to focus on being present for her growing family. Six months ago, she officially became a certified nursing assistant (CNA), and SYNERGY couldn’t be prouder to have her as part of our team.
A Natural Caregiver
Brittany has already been recognized as a Caregiver of the Week, and it’s no surprise why. She brings her whole heart to her work and finds fulfillment in making a difference in her clients’ lives. Her secret to building meaningful relationships? Simply being herself. With her upbeat energy and infectious sense of humor, Brittany lights up any room she enters. She loves making her clients laugh and helping them forget about the challenges they may be facing.
No matter the day, Brittany brings positivity and reliability to her clients. “I make sure to bring the same energy every day,” she shares. “I never want to let a client down.” Even the days when Brittany is tired, she finds a way to keep upbeat and radiate positivity for her clients. Brittany’s clients know they can count on her and they feel comfortable and at ease in her presence.
Advice for Future Caregivers
While caregiving is incredibly rewarding, Brittany acknowledges that it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Brittany suggests knowing your limits as a caregiver and when you need rest. Brittany wisely prioritizes self-care, whether by scheduling a massage or taking time to rest and recharge. Her approach ensures she can continue giving her best to her clients and family.
Brittany’s other piece of advice for those considering a career in caregiving is: “Make sure you have passion for your work and follow your dreams.” Her dedication, passion, and positivity are an inspiration to caregivers everywhere.
SYNERGY HomeCare is honored to have Brittany on our team. Her kindness, humor, and commitment make her a shining example of what caregiving is all about. Thank you, Brittany, for all that you do—you are truly making a difference!
