I became a caregiver because my wife is one, I see how the patients love her. I like taking care of elderly people. Most of the time what they need is to feel some love. I like it when they missed me when I'm off. Every time I see them again they are happy and tell me thank God your back. They start complaining about other caregivers. That make me feel good, because it means they like what I do for them. Or when their son or daughters thank you for taking good care of their mom or dad. I'm 40 years old, married for 16 years. We have two daughters. I'm always trying to succeed, because I want the best for my family. I'm Hispanic, from Guatemala.
