Caregiver Thoughts – Part 1

We’ve been talking to our caregivers about what it’s like for them to work with elephants, and all the things they are learning. Today, we hear from Luisa about the skills that she thinks are essential as a caregiver assistant. She talks about the importance of teamwork and how being open makes a difference when you are making a connection with another individual.

    That was truly remarkable! She is an extraordinary individual. Her ability to speak English so fluently is highly impressive. Not only does she speak with a lovely accent, but her words come straight from her heart. Luisa, I am grateful for all that you do. I would be honored to learn Portuguese from you.

    How fascinating to hear about the elephants’ ability to pick up on subtle differences in emotion from the caregivers. They are truly remarkable. As are the caregivers!
