What I Think A Caregiver Should Really Be There For

A caregiver is a person that is supposed to provide compassion and care. With this being said I take every job as if I was taking care of my grandparents. For a lot of people they only do it for the money. I take my job serious just because I care for all of my patients. I am flexible and willing to work overnights.
