Congratulations to Our Employee of the Month, Jonathan Villafana!

September 15, 2024
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CAREGIVER?       
I’ve been a caregiver with Brightstar for a year and nine months.

WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO BECOME A CAREGIVER?              
The thing that motivated me to become a caregiver was looking after my grandfather who had an accident that he unfortunately passed away from. It’s also one of the best jobs to get when it comes to getting into the medical/healthcare field.
 
WHAT ASPECT OF YOUR JOB ARE YOU MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT?
The part of my job that I’m most passionate about is being able to give people the ability to be free again. 

HOW ARE YOU MAKING THINGS MORE POSSIBLE FOR YOUR BRIGHTSTAR CLIENTS? 
The thing that I’m doing to help make my clients days better is being able to assist them with things they find difficult to do by themselves. No one wants to stop doing what they love so being able to give my clients that freedom again and safety is something that makes my job super enjoyable.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER CAREGIVERS?
The advice I would give to other caregivers is to enjoy and appreciate what you do for others. It may seem like work or a job to us, but for the people that we assist it’s being able to give them their life back.

TELL US YOUR FAVORITE CAREGIVING MOMENT/STORY: 
My favorite memory or story that I have is always the next person I can assist in giving their life back to them.
 
HOW DO YOU RE-ENERGIZE?
The way I re-energize myself is by reading a book, going for a good run, or going to the gym.

KIND WORDS FROM A CLIENT:
"I was very impressed with Jonathan V, who was outstanding with my husband. It gave me a peace of mind knowing that my husband was in good hands. Jonathan was kind, caring and knowledgeable about taking care of my husband. I highly recommend him if you want a responsible caregiver. Thank you, Jonathan!" ~ Helen
