I became a caregiver because of the innate motherly instinct that gives me such gratification just knowing that I have helped someone that is not able to help themselves. I have cared for children as well as adults and I learned that I prefer adult care. They are just a wealth of knowledge and in most cases they do appreciate someone taking care of them and spending time with them. I met a gentlemen one day and at the time he was wearing a diaper. After working with him for about three months we started going to bathroom and taking walks in the wheelchair. I felt a great sense of gratitude for seeing such improvement. His family eventually sent him to a nursing home where he did not last long. I am a very compassionate person and believe that everyone should be treated with respect. I am also a student attempting to achieve my bachelors degree in Business Administration with a minor in health service management.
