As caregivers we assist those who cannot care for themselves. Becoming a caregiver is something that many people do not consider as a career; for some people it is clearly a vocation, for others it is simply a job opportunity and a chance to train in it. In both cases, it is clear that once you start in the world of caregiving you understand its importance, how nice it is to help and the satisfaction it provides.
