I've been a caregiver for approximately 8 yrs .now. I love helping people in their homes, helping them to feel safe and gain back some of their independence. That is why I got started. Over the years, you develop wonderful relationships with your clients that help bring some meaningfulness and some happiness back into their lives. Some achievements as caregivers seem small like getting a dimensla patient to take a shower, when they're afraid of water, getting someone to stand up and use their walker when they just don't want to bother. I have experienced these very fulfilling achievements over and over. I started with a degree in teaching, and then adopted three special needs children. While caring for them I was inspired to help others .
