Raymond Plummer

What made you interested in working as a Caregiver?
I needed some extra money for school, but after my first case, I realized that I really enjoyed doing this work. I have about 11 years total excperience of caregiving.

How long have you been with Chicagoland Caregivers?
6 months and am currently doing an hourly case with a male client that has MS.

Worked with another agency, was a bank teller, and a shoesalesman at a major department store.

What is an interesting story/situation about a client through us?
Working with 1 specific male client - being able to see and experience his strength throughout his illness and also hearing interesting stories from the past.

What do you find most challenging about being a caregiver?
I sometimes worry that I may not be able to meet the client's needs, but so far that hasn't ever really been the case.

What do you find most rewarding about being a caregiver?
The fact that I can reassure clients and their family members that the best service is being provided.

What are your interests, when not working?
I like to play tennis, teach you classes at my church, and attend my book club gatherings with my friends.

What are your plans for the future?
To go back and finish school to get my Psychology degree and then obtain a Psych-Social position.

Thank you Raymond for all of your hard work and dedication!!!
