Patience and loving seniors as your family are important traits of a caregiver. A caregiver cares every moment she is with her client, a homebound senior. She monitors her client like a hawk watches her babies. She adds more greens in the soup to give her client more energy. She knows every elimination issues will prevent her client from sleeping or being calm during the night. She can detect a sudden shift in health condition. That is an amazing caregiver.
