I have not work as a caregiver but i do have experience do to my fiances grandmother being a diabetic. I help her change, clean, cook, remind her to take her medications once her caregiver isn't on duty. Another experience is from my fiance he was hospitalized for 1 month in coma i would help do therapy and cleaning on him when nurses where not available. After his coma he was not able to walk or work for himself i would feed him, remind him of his excrescences, i was able to help him walk again. I love to help people to be their for them when in need. The bests part of being a caregiver is being able to help people having a connection with someone that they know they can trust you that you will be their not to babysit but for help and for their best interest. The thing i am most proud of is learning to be patient and the ability to learn and process things quickly.
