I have been a caregiver for almost 4 years now and i can truly say i love it so much. I worked in so many assisted livings and worked one on one with the elderly and taught me alot and i can honestly say your emotion side will come out because you instantly catch that bond with each and every resident that you come in contact with and its just heartwarming to hear their background was and how they were and how they lived and what they used to do before they had to depend on someone to take care of them. I always had a passion in this healthcare field because i know there are some people that are out there and doesnt have anybody and for me being able to give that comfort and a shoulder to lean on to let them know that there is someone out there like me that you can depend on and can always count on them whenever needed and give that love, comfort and support to them when they are going through things and just needs someone to listen to them. I just Love what i do each and every day. And one thing i am proud of is knowing i can put a smile on my resident face and make them feel better by the end of my shift.
