Meet our Featured Caregiver for the month of December….Haley!

Haley has been with the An Answered Prayer Family for a little over one year. She’s originally from Buena Vista and still resides in the area with her eight-year-old daughter Arabella. They have two dogs, Lola and Gemma, a bunny named Milkshake, and four cats named Mr. Socks, Puffy, Shadow, and Island. Outside of work, Haley enjoys spending time with her daughter doing all the things she likes to do, in addition she loves to make candles and hair bows. Her favorite types of foods are Italian food and anything spicy, her favorite type of music is Country, and she couldn’t pick just one movie as her favorite, she loves them all. A fun fact about Haley is that a sea turtle is her spirit animal because she would love to go deep sea diving one day.

When asked about her favorite part of being a caregiver, Haley said “…being able to be my mom’s caregiver and feeling like I’m making a difference. I used to work so many hours before becoming a caregiver that I hardly had any time for my daughter or my parents. Now I get to spend time with my mom and daughter once I get all of my daily tasks done…we get to craft together and make wood home décor items.” Her advice for new caregivers is “…always ask your client what their daily routine is, so you can learn it and work around their routine to get your daily tasks completed. Go to the mandatory meetings and listen to the information they give you and take some notes!” When asked what caregiving means to her, Haley said “…giving your client all your attention and listening to them when they tell you something or how they want something done. Being that person that they can trust and rely on.”

We’re so thankful for Haley and the steady and consistent member she is for our team! Keep up the great work Haley!
