Rewards of caregiving
Posted: 04-10-08 12:43pm

What is the most rewarding part of caregiving?

I find that having the love of my clients is the best. walking back into the house and having one of my guys say that he missed me and ask where i was makes it all worth it. This to me is not a job. this is my life--those guys are my family--the brothers that i never had. I wouldnt give them up for anything

I understand English but I'm not sure about the word "caregiver", is it an actual employing job or just the fact that you... take care ?

oh I see I see. I'm not really a caregiver then. I'm rather a protector.

usually when I go out with (girl)friends to a club I always keep an eye on the guys approaching them. I'm a protector by nature but I prefer not to show it too much.
If I see it's a nice or clean guy, ie not sticky I leave them alone because he's not going to annoy her. But if I see that a guy is being too annoying with her, I approach (harshly enough to make my point) and scare him. Then he kinda moonwalks away pretending he's still dancing and he was just there by accident.

That's the funniest actually, when the guy pretends he wasn't trying to flirt, while he was, half a minute ago.
You know the weird elastic/snake moves a guy can make to look smooth while asking pointless questions she barely hears and trying to get close like if they were in complete fusion... while she actually tried to escape all the time.
Apparently I judge fairly well, because my interventions were always thanked. The best comment I had is "I feel completely safe when you are there." then made me a big kiss on the cheek Very
Happy

God's Miracle

I have been an R.N. for the past 22 years in the Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery. This has been the most rewarding career ever. Watching a neonate born at 22-23 weeks gestation and watching him/her grow and develop is truly a Gift from God!
When born the infant's eyes are fused, their is no cartilage in the ears and instead of cries, they sound like a small kitten. There is no fat under their skin, they are just wrinkled little beings. Caring for them until they go home is so rewarding. Watching their eyes open and their bodies develop is truly wonderful. We are seeing the miracle that could not be seen until the wonders of medicine. If you do not believe in a higher being, I suggest you visit a Neonatal nursery and watch the development of a 13-14 ounce wrinkled neonate turn into a beautiful baby.
