I have been a caregiver for over 10 years.I was a supervisor for a caregiveing company in the past but prefer working with the elders then to do their paperwork. Not that one is better then the other, I just enjoy spending time with clients. I love to talk with elders, Iv learned so much from them and love to here about the past and how the world was when they were younger.I'm 48 yes old and learn something everyday at work. I really enjoy it and hope to be able to be a caregiver for many years to come. Iv made many life long friends threw this line of work and hope to make more.
