Well the reason I became a caregiver is because I've done it my hole entire life, when I was younger I took care of my little brothers/sisters, when I was in the 7th grade my father suffered from a back injury that left him particialy disabled I did that till he was well enough to take care of himself after high school I moved to desert hot springs and was hired as a caregiver I worked there for 9 years and I currently work for a client in the privacy of her home where I assist in her a.d.l.s ( assisted daily living skills) cook, cleaning, batthing / showering, medication pass, stoma care, laundry, toileting, lifting transfering, knowledge of a hoyer lift, g-tube / j-tube. What I like about being a caregiver is getting to help people and getting them to there best potential with minimal assistance. Im proud of my daily accomplishments I get with my clients. Im a wonderful person with a big heart I actually care for the people I take care of1
