I became a care giver 5 years ago. I was her primary care giver (24 hrs aday) until she unfortunately passed away. Her family felt like they didn't have a choice and had to put her in hospice. me knowing how family orientated she was I knew she wouldn't have survived as long as she did. I did everything from prepare her meals to bathing her when she no longer could. I did all the house work and drove her to all her dr appts. I enjoy being a care giver because I want everyone to feel safe and secure in there one homes, and giving their family the peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are being taken care of even when they are not able to be there
