During my previous role, I encountered a situation where a client was resistant to my assistance due to past negative experiences with caregivers. I addressed this by taking the time to listen and understand their concerns, assuring them of my commitment to their comfort and safety. I gradually built trust by consistently showing empathy and respecting their boundaries. This approach not only resolved the initial resistance but also enhanced the quality of care I provided.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and importance set by the clients' care plans and immediate needs. For instance, I ensure that medication administration and personal hygiene tasks are completed first. I then move on to meal preparation and housekeeping, ensuring that all tasks are completed efficiently while maintaining a high standard of care for each client.

To maintain a positive attitude, I practice self-care by taking short breaks to recharge, staying hydrated, and eating healthy snacks. I also engage in positive self-talk and focus on the positive outcomes of my work, such as the smiles and gratitude from clients. Additionally, I find joy in small victories, like helping a client achieve a personal goal, which keeps my energy levels high.

I believe in open and regular communication with family members to ensure they are informed about their loved one's well-being and any changes in their condition. I provide updates through phone calls, emails, or in-person meetings, and I encourage their input and questions. This collaborative approach helps in creating a supportive environment for the client and maintaining trust with the family.

In my previous role, I used electronic health records to document client care, track medication schedules, and update progress notes. I found this technology to be efficient for maintaining accurate and accessible records. I also used mobile apps to manage appointment schedules and reminders, which enhanced my ability to provide timely and organized care.
