Maddie describes a pivotal moment when she knew that taking care of seniors was what she wanted to pursue as a career. Maddie had a client who was fairly new to having a home care aide, and Maddie was one of the first to serve her. Maddie shared with the woman that she was in nursing school, and her response was, “You’re going to be so good at what you do… you’re so sweet and so kind.”


Tat moment, and those career-affirming words, still ring in Maddie’s ears and resonate in her heart. She carries them with her to each client, serving them with compassion and delight.
