Becoming a Senior Caregiver: What led Alpha to a career in caregiving?

What led you to begin a career in caregiving?  It happened when my father got hospitalized and his doctors and nurses taught me how to care of my father when got discharged also the nurses encouraged me to get into healthcare career.

What is one of your most memorable caregiving experiences? My most memorable experience is seeing my father recuperated and seeing being able to move back to normal after those physical exercise that his pt taught me to demonstrate and explain  with my father.

How many years have you been a caregiver? I have been a caregiver for almost 2 years.

What has being a caregiver taught you? Being a caregiver has taught me not to complain much, more respect and more patience toward others. 

How do you manage the stress that comes with caregiving?  Just thought of this career as not a career but like a duty for a family whether I take care of a family member or not.  Just saying to myself,  it is for the family.
