my inspired story
Jolanta Jerzyk
In My Own Words…
I always felt the need to help others since I was in my early teens. During nursing school years I become passionate about working with seniors, because of their wisdom, resilience and gratitude for things we may miss in our everyday busy life. I remember the day when my friend asked me to help her with home visits for seniors who lived alone and struggled with daily choirs. That moment changed my life forever. Nothing helps you to understand more about what’s important in life than seeing others face struggles you do not. Since then, I have devoted my professional career to senior care. Caring for seniors enables them to not worry about things they cannot do, but also providing them with a valued friend and confidant. It’s a great accomplishment and feels highly rewording, knowing that I have turned what could have been a really difficult day into a great one, full of laughter and fun activities.
I am very grateful I chose this career path, and proud to be a part of this wonderful and caring CBV community.
