BECAUSE I ENJOY CARING FOR THE NEEDS OF OTHERS AND THEIR NEEDS. I ENJOY BEING A CAREGIVER ALL BECAUSE OF THE SATISFACTION OF A SIMPLE SMILE FROM AN ELDER WHEN YOU JUST SIMPLY TOUCH THEYRE SHOULDER OR HAND! I HAVE WORKED WITH DEMENTIA/ ALZEIMER PATIENTS AND THE PROCESSES ARE HEART BREAKING BUT WHEN YOU MANAGE TO GET THROUGH IT AND YOU ARE STILL THERE BY THEM I FEEL LIKE I HAVE DONE WHAT THE LORD ASKED ME TO DO! I HAVE BEEN CARING FOR JUST ABOUT 10YRS AND MY COMPASSION GROWS MORE EVERYDAY! I AM A MINISTERS WIFE WITH 3 GROWN BOYS/ 2 MARRIED AND 1 JUST ABOUT TO GRADUATE THIS YEAR. I HAVE 7 GRANDBOYS AND GIRLS! I LOVE THE SMILES ON FACES/ SO WHEN I DONT HAPPEN TO SEE ONE ON AN ELDER/ I DO MY BEST TO PUT IT THERE! I TREAT THEM LIKE I TREAT AN 18 YEAR OLD/25YR OLD/ 35 YR OLD/ 45YR OLD/ 55YR/ 65 YR/ AND SO ON....EVERYONE IS THE SAME IN GODS EYES AND I GO BY THAT! I LOVE THE JOY IT BRINGS THE LONELY AND SAD WHEN I SAY ....LETS GO FOR A WALK AND THEN LUNCH AND WE CAN JUST RELAX AND TALK! I LOVE MY JOB AS A CAREGIVER! I KNOW GOD GAVE ME THE HEART OF A CAREGIVER!
