I really love my job. i work one on one with the most wonderful handicapped girl. I am a mother so it makes care-taking a little easier for me. The cons are you get really emotionally attatched and that you work in their home, so you don't see very many new people. the pros are that you don't have to get caught up in the business aspect of things.
This is a rewarding career. You meet different people and learn many items of history.this career does have a few problems Pay is low and hours vary. you will see health issues that may upset you.
on the bright side you will know you are helping a person who needs help and keepinf them at home.
I absolutely love what I do. The money's crummy, and it's thankless at times, but just knowing you're helping people is its own reward (Cheesy as it sounds). If you like people, and can stand to see the same people day in and day out, and don't mind not having much cash on hand at any given time, looking after a family (Or a commune) is an incredible experience. It's like playing 'mom,' and I think I was put on earth to do just this.
Uh, let's see, what you might not know... Well, no one seems to know much about this line of work. It can be difficult, thankless, and oftentimes the people you're taking care of won't even realize you're working so hard. So it's tough. Really tough. Stressful, too. But still wonderful if you can do it.
