Remember that this is a two way street, so the tips apply to both caregiver<\/span><span id=\"E63\">s<\/span><span id=\"E64\"> and the employer<\/span><span id=\"E65\">s<\/span><span id=\"E66\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"E67\"><span id=\"E68\">Be on time<\/span><span id=\"E69\"> \u2013 Being late once or twice is understandable but habitual tardiness is not on. <\/span><span id=\"E70\">It signals that you do not respect the person who is waiting for you; is that what you want to convey? If you have talked about this issue to no avail, start setting the meeting time earlier that required. In other words, build in time for lateness!<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E71\"><span id=\"E72\">Be tidy<\/span><span id=\"E73\"> \u2013 When there is more than one person sharing a space, it can <\/span><span id=\"E74\">get <\/span><span id=\"E75\">pretty messy, pretty quickly. And before you know it is anarchy! <\/span><span id=\"E76\">Keep it tidy and clean and help those around you do the same.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E77\"><span id=\"E78\">Be fair<\/span><span id=\"E79\"> \u2013 <\/span><span id=\"E80\">F<\/span><span id=\"E81\">air pay rates and terms of employment <\/span><span id=\"E82\">should be a given as should giving a fair days work.<\/span><span id=\"E83\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E84\"><span id=\"E85\">Do what you say you will do<\/span><span id=\"E86\"> \u2013 <\/span><span id=\"E87\">It is a simple as that. If you say you will do something (or stop doing something), stay true to your word! <\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E88\"><span id=\"E89\">Be pleasant<\/span><span id=\"E90\"> &#8211; Everyone has hard days from time to time or experiences frustrations. This can be even <\/span><span id=\"E92\">more true<\/span><span id=\"E94\"> <\/span><span id=\"E95\">when a loved one has special needs or extra jobs are required to pay for care. Remind yourself that adding stress and a sharp tongue will not make things better, just the contrary!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"E96\"><span id=\"E97\">And of course, open and honest communication is what keeps things on track.
