❤️ I REALLY DO LOVE MY JOB! ❤️
Recently, I had the pleasure of caring for a lovely lady who was visiting Tenerife on holiday. During one of our visits, I noticed she was wearing a perfume that instantly reminded me of my grandma. I told my lovely client how familiar the scent was and how it brought back so many precious memories of my grandma.
What happened next genuinely touched my heart. 🥰
As a thank you, my client bought me the very same perfume as a gift. Such a thoughtful, unexpected gesture that meant far more to me than she could ever imagine.
Now, whenever I smell that perfume, I won’t just be reminded of my wonderful grandma and the beautiful memories we shared, but also of a lovely lady I had the privilege of caring for in Tenerife, who has created a special new memory for me.
This is what care is really all about. ❤️
It’s so much more than a job, a visit, or a list of tasks to complete. It’s about the connections we build, the trust we earn, the kindness we share, and those little moments that stay with us long after the visit has ended.
As nurses / carers, we often go into someone’s life to make a difference to them, but sometimes, without even realising it, they make a difference to us, too.
This little gift will forever hold two very special memories for me which I will treasure
This is why I truly love what I do. This is why care matters.
