I've been a caregiver for over 30 years. I took care of my grandparents and parents. I've taken care of many people with all different kinds of challenges -- including child care, hospice care, handicap care, etc. Through the years this kind of work has been very rewarding to me. It's a great feeling when you can put a smile of someones face and make their day to day tasks easier! I connect very well with the elderly! I love to hear all of their stories ! I also had a hair salon in MA in a retirement home which I loved so much. I love being around the elderly and being able to bring some sunshine to their life.
