I began caregiving because I was raised by my grandparents, and believe our elders deserve the most amazing care. I think there are so many misconceptions about what a career caring for someone has to offer. I have found it to be so rewarding. It's an awesome experience, being able to be an extension when family is not there. It's great to be able to give residents/clients extra time, love, help and attention. I think everyone is different, but it's a good feeling knowing you can provide them with a safe, respectful environment to live well and be happy. I've been doing it for a number of years, and you really get an opportunity to meet some amazing people. I have all my MA training, and lots of caregiving experience. No licensing - but am certified in a number of things.
