I would be not hesitant to say that my favorite job in my lifetime has been being a caregiver. I've held many positions in my lifetime I've driven a school bus, I've ran a senior citizen center for 20 years, I was a paramedic in that city. I also Worked with hospice during this time. I have also been a certified peer specialist and did enjoy that job for a while but got burnt out and wanted to change back to my true love and that is older people. And being a caregiver has been my favorite job so far.
