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

What led you to begin a career in caregiving? The passion I have for caring for seniors in the comfort of their homes and my human rights orientation led me to begin career in care giving.

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

What is one of your most memorable caregiving experiences? My most memorable care giving experience was when I was caring for a dementia client and he became furious with me. But I was able to calm him down through story telling that we used to converse when all is well.

What has caregiving taught you? Being a caregiver has taught me a lot of things such as caring for people in need of help, communicating with clients who have vast experience and they share it with me which I have sometimes lived by.

How do you manage the stress that comes with caregiving? I manage my stress as any normal stress I encounter and just keep it cool and calm and let the job eats my day slowly.
