I became a caregiver to learn & gain experience so that I can care for my own aging loved ones in the future. I found it can be quite rewarding & I also learned alot about what it takes to do this kind of work & how to show compassion & how to deliver care with empathy. I consider my personality to be serious person yet jokative when I need to make a client smile. I realize it is sometimes hard on clients getting to the point of needing a caregiver, it's not always the easiest for them & in my mind I put myself in their position as far as the thoughts & feelings that go through their heads & act accordingly to how I would want a caregiver to act & be for me. What I find to be the most rewarding is forming bonds with clients & realizing now matter what age difference there is that at the end of the day we're all just people trying to make it from one day to another while giving it our best to keep positive outlooks.
