Inspiration for This Nomination:

I have worked closely with LeAndra for two years. In my time with her, I have placed her in some of the more difficult situations that have presented themselves. I did not do this out of punishment but because I knew that if anyone could handle said situations, it would be her. She has yet to let me down. She has worked with quadriplegics, clients with dementia or Alzheimer's, as well as people on their death beds. Not only has she handled each situation thrown at her, but she has done so with professionalism, dignity and grace. I have told her on more than one occasion that if I had a loved one that was about to pass away, she is the caregiver that would want by their side.

Caregiver's Best Skills and Attributes:

There are many strengths that LeAndra brings to work on a daily basis. She is a lively and energetic woman that makes people feel better just by having her in their presence. She also is very caring and compassionate. Not only is she there to help the client that she has been assigned to care for, but she is also a shoulder for the family to lean on.

Feedback About This Caregiver:

LeAndra has never had a negative word said about her from a client or client's family. She is often praised for her work ethic and warm heart. Whenever she fills in for a vacationing or ill caregiver, it is almost a guarantee that the client she works with will call and request her to replace the full-time caregiver.

What Others Have Learned From This Caregiver:

LeAndra always has a kind word to say and never lets her problems outside of work weigh her down. I have tried to incorporate some of her same beliefs into my own life. By having a positive attitude, we can accomplish our goals. That's what I have learned from her.

More About This Caregiver:

LeAndra will tell you that she knows she was put on this earth to take care of others. She is very passionate about what she does. We at Progress, both management and clients, are very lucky to have her in our lives.
