I became a caregiver, actually very spontaneously! I was offered my job and I immediately accepted. I absolutely love being there for my clients. Having worked with them for two years now has definitely changed me as a person. I always heard about caregiving jobs but I never really knew just how much it brings a person joy. From helping with bathing, feeding to spending time with them, is so rewarding as you can see every child or adult you care for is different from one another. My time in this field of work has made me realize there is no other place that is a better fit for me! I currently have my Direct Support Professional (DSP1) certificate and I’m also aiming to complete my DSP2.
