I became a caregiver because I saw the way people were treated in a convalescent hospital that I worked in as a teenager I told myself when I got older if I could help people I would and now that I'm old enough to help I want to help people who cannot help themselves I feel that more people should want to do jobs like this I feel like elderly have done a lot for us when they raised us and we should return the favor I love doing my job because I get to help other people and I get to know other people I get to learn about them and things that they might want to share it's good to get to know other people and help people who can't help themselves also I took care of an aunt that had polio growing up so I've been doing caregiving for a while and I also have seven children so I think I have a lot of experience and three of my children are physically or mentally disabled so I have a lot of experience in that area too
