I realized I was meant to be a caregiver after caring for my grandparent in-law's and father till they all passed away. I treasure that time and the memories I have from being their primary caregiver during their final years. I have always enjoyed working with eldery, having done volunteer work since my teens, but these situations made me realize how much I enjoy caring for them, and that I am good at it. I gained confidence in abilities like incontinence care, bathing, wound care, giving medications, pic lines, feeding, mouth/nail care and other activities of daily living.
