Congratulations to Mike and Mary Doepke of Chicago, Illinois, for submitting the winning nomination for Caregiver of the 2nd Quarter 2010 – Mira Warda.

Mira exemplifies the Home Helpers Vision to be the extended family when family can’t be there. She recently was the primary caregiver for a woman named Margaret, whose children did not live nearby. Mira became the “eyes and ears” for the client’s family – baking food to bring to Margaret, comforting her when she was anxious and communicating concerns to both the Home Helpers office and the client’s family when necessary.

Mira was with Margaret the night she passed away peacefully in her own bed. At Margaret’s funeral last month, the family made a special point of recognizing Mira and her special relationship with their mother.

“As Home Helpers owners, this is the goal that we strive for,” said the Doepkes. “Clearly, Mira Warda is an exceptional caregiver and we are proud of her achievements as our Home Helpers employee. She is definitely worthy to be named Home Helpers Caregiver of the 2nd Quarter.”
