Ashley
"I think the biggest thing I enjoy working for BaptistCare is the interaction you get with people. It's the little things like you meet someone for the first couple of visits at home and they have no idea who you are and you get to you get to know them and you get to learn their name and their history and the biggest kick you get is when someone who is an older person who doesn't get a lot of social interaction remembers your name for the first time."
