CAREGIVERS
"The success of Sitters Etc. has been attributed to hiring and retaining the employment of the best caregivers in the field of non-medical home care," states Beau Brothers, President and operator of all of Sitters Etc.'s business.
COMPASSIONATE CAREGIVERS
Sitters Etc.'s caregivers are trained in the common diseases of today's seniors...Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Pulmonary Disease, Alzheimer's, etc. They are trained to provide support to those in need of assistance and to ALWAYS put the needs of the client first. When providing assistance with personal care, PRIVACY and DIGNITY is maintained at all times. The care Sitters Etc. caregivers provide our elderly is put into perspective on a personal level when they are asked to place themselves in the shoes of someone who needs assistance getting in/out of a shower, to be reminded to eat or take their medications, to be aware of their continence needs. All of these feelings need to be taken into account when providing senior care. COMPASSION...a must!
HIRING CAREGIVERS
All employees undergo an extensive interview and application process. Sitters Etc.'s caregivers must have at least two years of previous caregiving experience and/or have attained a CNA or other caregiving-related degree. Previous work history is verified. Also, Sitters Etc. processes a thorough background check including a criminal background check, and abuse registry and sexual abuse registry checks. Our non-medical home care company even verifies the residence(s) of each caregiver for the previous seven years, as we are looking for stability in our staff. If a caregiver provides transportation, a Motor Vehicle Report is precessed to ensure the reliabilty of their driving skills.
