I have worked in Health field for 15 yrs, private practice and Non Profit settings. I enjoy working with geriatrics, listening to stories about their life,their wisdom. This is where I fill more needed,appreciated. I am a go with the flow type caregiver,not everyday is the same,we all have our good and not so good days, if we want dessert before dinner, why not! My outlook on caregiving is you treat and respect each individual as if they were your parent. If you cant do that... well maybe this line of work is not for you. I have been a.caregiver since 2011. I have been with the same company. Very reliable,punctual, I am not there to take over,change the daily routine. My job is to help them with whatever the can no longer do on their own.
