Does anyone here really enjoy what they do for a living? ( Archived) (24)

I help senior's for a living and yes i LOVE my job b/c it doesn't FEEL like a job, it is something i've done without a paycheck most my life.

non-medical. i'm like a companion, not like the ones you see in hospitals snoozing in an arm chair when they are supposed to be watching a client.


i'm a senior caregiver, i remind those that need it to take meds on time, if they have hobbies i provide encouragement and aid (if needed) in continuing that hobby. i'm their personal cheerleader, shoulder to cry on, a new friend to share old memories with, even a new 'student' to teach old intrests too.
i'm a reliable friend to go out and lead a life with, i have coffee at a cafe with some in the early hours, gossip with others at salons, complain about the increasing prices of groceries with others.
i don't 'mother' them, they lead and i follow. i love every one of my clients like family and they dont introduce me as their 'aid', which gives me a deep sense of happiness. One calls me her 'other daughter' most call me their friend and that's just how i feel.
