Job Summary

One could look at the job and say primarily you assist with ambulating, grooming, dressing, bathing, eating, toileting and cleaning...and that would be true. However, being a caregiver is about much more than a list of tasks. It is about relationships and making people's day better each and every time you come in contact with them.
