Who a caregiver is and what he or she does

[Alex Sob]

I’m from the Dominican Republic, and when I moved, I started looking for a job – that’s how I got into caregiving. It’s more than just helping around the house. We don’t give injections, but we monitor the regimen, hygiene, nutrition, morale. Sometimes you just need to talk to the person. If you are interested, here is a clear description of what a caregiver’s duties are – elderly caregiver job description. This page helped me in my time to understand what was expected of me. And yes, it’s more about caring than medicine. The main thing is to be attentive and genuinely want to help.
