What makes you a good companion?

“I’m a good listener and a very empathetic, thoughtful and considerate person. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and making them feel heard and comfortable. I also have a good sense of humour, which I think helps bring some lightness and positivity into the day.”

In what skills area do you feel most qualified to be a companion?

“I’m very confident when it comes to helping around the home — I like to joke that I have a master’s degree in cleaning! I also really enjoy cooking and assisting with everyday tasks. I have previous experience working in health shops, which has given me a strong interest in and knowledge of general health, wellness and supplements.”

What makes you most excited about working with seniors?

“I enjoy hearing people’s life stories and learning from their experiences. I also love helping with everyday tasks and providing companionship.”

What’s the most interesting thing about you that we don’t know from your resume?

“One thing that may not be obvious from my resume is how interested I am in health and wellness. Having worked in health shops, I gained a lot of knowledge about general health and supplements, and it’s something I continue to find very interesting.”

Your best day at work you’ve ever had and what made it so good?

“My best days were when I met interesting people and had positive, uplifting conversations with customers.”
