I became a caregiver to take care of my mom. I like being a caregiver because when my mom became disabled i was able to take care of her...I took care of all my mom personnel needs...I would give her baths ,plan and prepared meals,laundry,grocery shopping, supervisor her medications and prescriptions,,,, take care of doctor appointments. I also found things she like to do,such as watch t,v, and movies... put puzzles together.. some family outings..My mom was unable to walk so she spend her time in bed or in a wheel chair. ..I worked for the medicare waiver program and I was paid to stay home and take care of my mom. I was glad that I could take care of her the last years of her life.. I love the caretaker job......I like to help and be of service to other people.... I am kind and understanding of others,,,,,
