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

What led you to begin a career in caregiving?  The main thing that led me to begin a career in caregiving was my grandmother who I cared for before she passed away last year. I also was led by my love for the elderly and for children.

How many years have you been a caregiver?  I have been a caregiver for two years (Elderly)

What is one of your most memorable caregiving experiences?  One of my most memorable caregiving experiences was when I would just sit and talk with my grandmother, because she wasn't always up to beat with holding conversations but when she was we would have awesome conversations about the past when me and my sibling would come over her house for the weekend. It was perfect. 

What has caregiving taught you?  Being a caregiver has taught me a big deal of responsibility, with me not having any children yet I got hands on experience with caring for one of my own family members long term.

How do you manage the stress that comes with caregiving?  I manage the stress that comes with caregiving by not even thinking of the stress consistently , because I'm not the type that gets overly stressed it happens every once in a while but not too often.
