I am 31 years old, born and raised in Paris. The most I can say about being a caregiver, is that I have always wanted to help. I worked for another care giving job for three boys, two around my age and one exactly in between my parents' ages. This was the most rewarding job I ever had. I felt like I made a difference, not only because I did simple things like cook and clean for them, and help them walk to the car and stay safe. What really did it for me is that I know in my heart that I LOVED doing it. Helping those boys by being a happy, smiling, bright, face they could see, then relate it to someone who gives them a feeling of security and safety and love is the greatest part. If I were rich, I'd do it for free. <3
