You MUST have a big smile that will make each client's face light up when they welcome you at the door.
A good pair of eyes and ears are essential. Ears to listen to a lifetime's worth of stories, and eyes to help find things that they've misplaced!
Each day is varied, you'll need to think on your feet.. and it helps to be light on them too as clients often enjoy a dance following afternoon tea.
A GCSE in history is not required, but helping a client relive their memories by flicking through a photo album together will be sure to make their day.
Finding joy in the little moments in life. A cuppa made "just right"
