I have worked as caregiver for over 10 years with one particular client whom I became very close to. She eventually past away and I stop working as a caregiver and pursue other interest and other career choices. I make caregiver very personal but who wouldn't it is a rewarding and fulfilling job. I have patient and a good sense of understanding them and their pain. It is hard at some point but you do your best to put yourself in their shoes and feel their pain by making it personal otherwise this job is not made for you. You have to go the extra mile and meet them halfway and let them know you are there for them by making them feel warmth and loved and happy even if it is just for that small moment. It makes a big different in their lives. Anyways I cannot say if I am the perfect candidate but I know I use my heart when it comes to caregiving because I had just lost my mother a year ago who suffered from a lot of complications including dementia and etc... things went down the hill for me and my life has never been the same.
