aring is giving love and attention to people and things that matter to you.  When you care about people, you say and do things that help them.

  • Give people help when they need it
  • Am gentle and loving with anything or anyone placed in my care
  • Treat my body with respect
  • Work with enthusiasm and excellence
  • Handle things carefully
  • Let people know that what they say is important by looking at them and listening closely
