I became a caregiver after retiring from my job and caring for my 88 year old mother with Alzheimer. Its something that comes natural to me. I love making my client happy and making them laugh. Everything else is second nature. Empathy and love is so easy to give, its not work, its just natural. My personal achievement was getting my client to let me bathe her. When I was hired, my client wasn't being bathed. I was able to start grooming and bathing her, not going to say it was easy but it became much easier. I am still close to my client. I went to visit her last weekend. She was so happy to see me. Such a lovely lady, beautiful family. It was pleasure.
