I think I would be a great caregiver because I have worked with the older generation in many ways...I taught for 9 years water aerobics where ages of participants started from 40-91 around 50 per class...I have had to help my father in a rehab facility after a fall and I found myself helping others as well and I loved it...I think today, this type of work unfortunately has too many people not really caring about our elderly or respect them as they should ...It's a job to them...I love it and love hearing stories of their individual lives, etc. I am a hard worker and a doctor's daughter...
