"A quote of Albert Schweitzer has provided much meaning for me in my line of work; "Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate." I try to embrace this state of mind with not only my clients in a direct care setting, but also my coworkers, managers, and other individuals I interact with during my work. After having a chance to speak with the Chesco team I learned more about Chesco. I felt confident this attitude, along with my ability to overcome challenges faced by my clients, would make me great caretaker match for Chesco."
