“What Do You Like to Do in Your Spare Time?”
432 Home Health Aide team members responded to our March raffle question—“What do you like to do in your spare time?”
We received so many wonderful responses! The vast majority of our HHA team members said that spending time with friends and family is their favorite way to unwind. They cook for their children and watch movies with friends, all the while making precious new memories with the ones they love.
Many HHAs also enjoy being outdoors. Whether it’s a brisk walk in the fresh air or peaceful time tending a garden, these moments outside can help reinvigorate them after a busy day. Another popular response was reading: Some HHAs read to learn new things, others to relax after work.
This Month’s Three Raffle Prize Winners: We took the names of all the HHA team members who participated in the March raffle question, put them together, and drew three at random. The winning team members, who each received a raffle prize, were FengLian He, Haivi Antuna, and Julia Castellano.
Here are some of the great responses we received to our March raffle question: “What do you like to do in your spare time?”
Margarette Norgues: “I go walking with my little dog, Bella. She likes to walk. When I’m home, she brings me her leash. She’s so cute! I love her.”
Rosario Chavez: “I like walking and nature.”
Mabel Weathers: “I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.”
Sharon Kemble: “I like reading and trying to learn how to prepare various dishes from different cultures.”
Dahlia Paul: “I spend my spare time voluntarily helping elderly clients at different organizations who cannot do much for themselves. I read and tell them stories. It gives me so much pleasure to see them happy and make them smile. I also go for walks to keep myself healthy, because if I’m not healthy, I won’t be able to help others.”
Frances Williams: “I spend as much time with my 7-year-old daughter as I can. She keeps me on my toes!”
Helen Rosenberg: “I go soul line dancing! Google “soul line dancing” in your borough to find classes!”
Guilaine Pierre Aurelien: “I spend my time cleaning my house, washing my clothes, doing my hair, having my nails done, taking care of myself, and spending time on social media to laugh and learn a little bit. I like to be outdoors and go window shopping, too.”
Veronica Laurency Etienne: “In a corner of my living room is my little flower garden. That’s where I spend my free time, taking care of them. I change the soil, water the flowers as necessary, and make sure the old or dry leaves are plucked out of the plants.”
Alma Edwards: “I spend time bonding with my family, preparing my own menu of foods, making my family’s favorite foods, and then eating together while watching Netflix.”
Magdalena Rivera: “I go to Broadway shows, Comic Con, museums, and the ballet.”
