Shadowing a

Caregiver By Melissa Regalado

Caregiving is all about taking care of elderly people that can’t do essential things in life by themselves.

A caregiver is responsible for the

person’s cleanliness. They bathe them, trim their nails, do

their hair, and sometimes change

their diaper.

Sometimes the person the caregiver is taking care of has some mental disorder,

like Alzheimer’s disease.

My mom takes care of a patient with

Alzheimer’s disease and it seems very

difficult because they are always getting

confused with events happening at the time.

Caregiving seems like a hard job because you are dealing with elderly people that may be stubborn and confused. It’s a noble job because not a lot of people do it, sometimes not even family members.
