I actually became a caregiver because I wanted something that fits the hours when my child was in school. However since I've become a caregiver I found that helping and caring for someone in need is very gratifying. Knowing that I can ease the pain of someone who aches or can no longer do for themselves by simply cooking a meal, making a bed or cleaning the floor is very satisfying and I know that they appreciate it as well. So this job has not just been something to do when my child is in school but it has become something that I look forward to every day. When I walk into my clients home, I give a smile and I'm greeted with a smile. That's the reward!
