When I first started being a caregiver I was actually taking care of my grandmother and I was only 13 years old helping my mom and I enjoyed it ever since just to know that I'm a helpful person and that I know what to do, throughout the years I've been helpful until my grandmother passed I found a job that I was attached to which was veranda house it's just the pay wasn't so good but I still enjoyed taking care of my residence we did exercise when they needed to before bed because I worked overnight I also worked during the day I made sure they were hydrated with water I made sure they were dressed clean hair done showered if they needed to I kept them with socks on made them feel comfortable made them laugh some of my women residents they like to do two step dances and stuff I enjoyed doing that activities with them I've worked night shift in morning shift before I have cooked easy meals whatever they wanted we went outside for a little walk we even went outside just to sit on benches and listen to The birds I like to make them feel like they're home and safe which that's nothing but coming from me feeling safe I like to solve problems like if they have any problems want to talk to me they're feeling bad that day or anything like that I love to brighten up their day and talk to them let them know everything's okay I also look out for different misbehaving or if they're looking sick or anything like that I'm with the vitals the temperature I check all that to make sure that they're fine I report every little thing just to make sure the resident is okay I'm very alert my resident will never feel alone I always talk I make them feel important which they are I treat them like they're my mom or dad it's just been in me for so long since I was 13 and now I'm 34 and I'm proud of the fact that I actually know how to take care whether for the younger person or an elderly person I know exactly what to do if they want to go for a ride to the store or Doc appointment
