2. Caregiver counseling is a very important function of any
medical field. The individuals who work with this agency
are great at their job and will help any domestic servant.
Americans are very grateful to have agencies such as
these to always look after great workers who devote
their time in helping others. Many of these domestic
workers must deal with child rearing issues,
relationships, life transitions, drug addictions and stress.
3. Whenever the caretaker has a feeling of being
overwhelmed with problems within their everyday life
they can be sure that a great therapist will help them.
Stress seems to be the biggest factor that appears in a
live-in servants life. Certain clients may do things that
will easily aggravate this loyal worker who will initially
become very frustrated. The counselor will help them to
deal with their temper and fits of rages that may occur
during work hours.
4. A servant may also have their own children to look after
while they are taking care of a sick person on a daily
basis. The counselors will teach them how to keep their
work life and personal life separate twenty four hours a
day. This can sometimes be a difficult task to perform if
the caretaker is living within their employers home.
Sometimes this worker may have to move their family
into their clients house.
5. People often feel very lonely whenever they are caring
for someone each day of the week. Clients who suffer
from a long term disease may need the assistance of
their domestic person at all times. The workers social life
will suffer greatly and they will eventually become very
isolated individuals with no friends.
6. During many of these social outings the domestic
servant will learn how to start relationships on their
own that are not work related. This will help them
become better individuals who are not overly stressed
or dealing with other medical issues. A person has to
learn how to give themselves free time to enjoy life and
do the things that make them happy.
7. Taking drugs can become very tempting to someone
who is dealing with a dying patient. This is one way that
a person can escape from life while sitting in the comfort
of their home. Drinking large quantities of alcohol may
also help a domestic worker escape from the torments
of their daily job. Individuals who take these substances
place many people in jeopardy.
8. Staff workers at any mental health agency realize that
many live-ins need special treatment while they are
employed by certain patients. There are dire
consequences whenever an employee has a drug addict
or alcoholic working for them. The clients will suffer
from this greatly and in the end these domestic workers
may lose their jobs.
9. The most important thing that caregiver counseling does
is to teach these workers about dealing with the loss of
their client. Once their patient has died the servants
become upset and feel very empty inside. Their duty as
a caregiver has now finished and now they must face life
without this special person.
