Prior to working in the U.S. I worked as a caregiver in Israel for many years. After working in Israel I came to the U.S. where I have been working as a caregiver for 5 years.WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO BECOME A CAREGIVER?
I grew up with my grandparents, which taught me how to take good care of their basic needs. I learned ways to help keep my grandparents healthy. The appreciation I received from them motivated me to do the same for the others.

TELL US YOUR FAVORITE CAREGIVING MOMENT/STORY
My favorite caregiving moments are when clients ask me “When will I see you next?” or “Thank You, for taking care of me.” My most favorite heartfelt remark from my clients is “I miss you already.” Hearing those words, lets me know that I’m providing meaningful quality services to the client.
HOW DO YOU RE-ENERGIZE?
What keeps me energized is traveling as much as I can. I also re-energize by sleeping especially since I work graveyard shift. Socializing with my close friends and family also helps me feel invigorated.A FEW WORDS ABOUT BRENDA FROM AN APPRECIATIVE CLIENT:
"My 53-year-old son came out of the hospital needing nursing care both during the day and night. Brightstar provided that care. They put a team in place. One year later the night crew is still providing that service for Mike. Jennifer has been with him since he came home--with a wound vac, incontinent, bed bound. She always shows up on time, is competent, and is always cheerful. I can safely leave my son in her care and get a much-needed sleep.” – Marian Y.
