I truly enjoy being a caregiver because it allows me to give a part of myself to someone and hopefully brighten their day, even something as simple as a smile. I treasure each client I've been able to work with as I have learned so much from their experiences. My most memorable client and I were able to bond when he discovered that I served in the military. He then was able to share his experience as a POW in WWII with me. I feel that each person has something to offer, sometimes it simply takes someone having the time to sit and hear what they need to communicate through words, song, gesture, facial expression, etc. Allowing someone to still feel needed and of worth is of utmost importance.
