I've been a caregiver since 2007, and I love it. The main reason i became a caregiver is because of my grandmother and my best friends grandmother. They both had caregivers come into the house and assist them with showering, grooming, oral care, transferring and feeding. See those caregivers i knew that being a caregiver is something that i would love to do. The thing i love most about being a caregiver is that being there for someone less fortunate, the companionship we develop, and just the fact that I'm apart of theirs lives is what brings me joy.
