Those are just some of the

worked for Saili for two years and
in that time he has become one
of her most popular caregivers.
Jame’e is in such high demand

challenges,” he said.
Caring has always been part
of Jame’e’s DNA. He has a
background in nursing and is a
licensed acupuncturist.
This is a very rewarding career. I am
contributing to someone’s life. They
become a part of me, like a second family.
Like any caregiver, Jame’e helps
his clients with activities of daily
living. But he doesn’t stop there.
He gets to know the heart of
his clients. He figures out what
they need – not just physically,
but mentally. What makes them
happy? What makes them thrive?
Jame’e quickly determines
the answer.
