What is caregiver means to you?

A caregiver is someone who provides different types of care to another. Giving care to another person is not new. It starts the minute a baby is born. A baby is totally dependent on family. As a child grows to be more independent, less care is required. When people age, and if their health declines, they can become less independent and more dependent on family to provide care.

Caregiving is helping someone out, assisting someone, nurturing them. It can range from Saturday grocery shopping for a grandparent to providing total care, such as transporting, bathing, feeding and dressing. The person you take care of doesn’t have to live with you for you to be a caregiver. Assisting someone who does not live with you is also caregiving. So you see, if you help someone you are providing care – you are a caregiver.What is caregiving
