Frequently asked questions

Experience is, of course, useful because it can help shorten and overall ease the process of adapting to this work. On the other hand, based on previous experience, you may have learned procedures that will be difficult for you to unlearn if I need you to do them differently. In that case, they can significantly complicate the process of adapting to assistance work with me.

Therefore, I say in advance that no experience is necessary. On the contrary, sometimes I prefer when my new assistant has no previous experience, because they do not try to apply something they were used to in their previous work.

During the first meeting of a potential assistant with me, one of my current assistants is also present, who will gladly explain and demonstrate the individual tasks to the candidate. So there is no need to fear that I will throw you into deep water without teaching you how to swim.

I have extensive experience with people who are helping me for the first time and I know how uncertain they can feel during this first meeting. Overcoming their initial fears is usually the hardest part, but a good experience is then the best way to get through everything else.

It is interesting to hear people's retrospective views on their first beginnings with me, when they started without any previous experience. Today we laugh about it together and appreciate that we went for it. However, this is preceded by a long process of situations that were not exactly easy at the time. But everything is a new experience, an enrichment, not only for the new assisting person, but certainly for me as well. Therefore: it is not important that you have previous practice. I am used to and prepared for the fact that newcomers have no experience with assistance work, I expect it in advance and always gladly explain everything.

I enjoy meeting new people, even though constantly adapting to new personalities and habits is considerably demanding. It requires patience, which I have cultivated over the years, as well as the ability of psychological work and adaptation to various personalities, temperaments, and cultural habits of the many new people who constantly enter my life.

On the other hand, it is also necessary for the assistant to respect my habits, my personality, and my way of doing individual tasks. Mutual tolerance is the foundation of every relationship - whether it is a work relationship or a friendly one.
