Jhoana, aide domicile - 75010 Paris 10ème arrondissement

My Name is Jhoanarose , 30 years old from Philippines.
Taking care of elderly people is a responsibility I take seriously and do with love and patience. I believe every senior deserves to feel respected, safe, and cared for. In my experience, helping the elderly means being there not just for their physical needs, but also for their emotional well-being.

I help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, preparing meals, giving medicine, and helping with mobility. I always make sure to do these things with kindness and a smile, because I know that small actions can make a big difference. Many seniors feel more comfortable and confident when they are treated with respect and warmth.

Emotional support is just as important. Many elderly people feel lonely, especially if they don’t have family nearby. I always take the time to talk with them, listen to their stories, play games, or even just sit with them quietly. These moments help build trust and create a strong connection.

I also pay attention to changes in their health, mood, or behavior. If I notice anything unusual, like if they seem confused, tired, or in pain. I make sure to report it to a nurse or family member. Being alert and careful can prevent small problems from becoming serious ones.

Working with elderly people has taught me to be more patient, understanding, and caring. I’ve learned how to stay calm in difficult situations and how to adjust when things don’t go as planned. Every person is different, so I always try to understand their needs and follow their routines.

For me, caregiving is more than just a job. It’s a chance to give back, to help someone live a better life, and to make them feel valued. I treat every elderly person I care for like family with love, dignity, and respect. It makes me happy to know that I can bring comfort and kindness to someone’s life.
