The caregiver will learn the principles of etiquette – being honest, trustworthy, and having the ability to put other people at ease. They will also learn the importance of exhibiting kindness and courtesy when working with others, the art of self-introduction, how to make a lasting first impression and what body language says about them.
Other lessons they will learn include place settings at the table and how to treat their client’s belongings with respect.
