Respite provider
May - June 2019 • Longmont, CO
What I liked
I enjoyed the hand one experience I received being a respite provider. I was in close contact with my person and spent every day with her for a month, and learned a lot about caring for others.
What I wish was different
I wish nothing was different! Being a respite provider is an experience that opens your eyes to other people's daily lives, and changes you for the better when it comes to understanding.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share about this experience is to stay calm, cool, and collected, and prepare ahead of time for the schedule you will be on.
