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.

Alzheimer’s disease and it seems very

difficult because they are always getting
