I didn't really realize I was a natural at caregiving until I was given custody of my grandmother at 18 yes old. Every morning before school I would stop over by only to find that she wasn't properly cared for and so I'd bath, dress and feed her. This was a routine for months. Apparently adult protection heard about it, contacted me and gave me custody of her. I loved the feeling I got knowing she was happy,and healthy on account of me. Her quality of life was exactly as it should have been! I can't imagine being anything else other than a caregiver. I love the families and they're always so grateful and thankful ( I'm still getting used to all the praise for simply doing my job). Most families I'm still very close to even after their loved one passed to this day. Care giving is a reward in itself!
