We are proud to announce that our caregiver of the week is  Rachael Ogunleye! Rachael answers our "Caregiver Interview" below. 

Why did you become a caregiver?

I became a caregiver because I have passion for elderly people. I love them so much. They deserve to be taken care of.

Tell us the Funniest moment you've had caring for a senior?

The funniest moment was when I was taking care of one of my elderly clients at night during the winter time. She told me "honey get on the bed and let us go to sleep."

Describe something interesting you've learned from a client.

I have learned to be good to everyone because it will pay back at the end of the road.

If you weren't a caregiver, what other type of work would you enjoy?

I would enjoy being a nurse, I am currently going to school to do that.

What is one thing you wish your clients knew about you, but don't?

I want them to know that God is the doctor. Just have faith in him.

What's your favorite movie?

I don't have much time to watch movies, I am always on the go.

Outside of work, what's your favorite activity?

Sewing and dancing.

If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go?

Africa or London.

What's your favorite time of year?

 Thanksgiving.

Who is your hero?

My parents. They raised me the right way to love everyone as you love yourself and to be blessed with what you have and to thank God for everything.

Thanks, Rachael. Congratulations on being the Dallas senior care giver of the week!
