For the past three weeks, I've been taking care of my younger sister who was hospitalized. I realized that I might have the talent to be a caregiver. Even though it was challenging, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I had to help her with changing clothes, going to the bathroom, and feeding her all the time. At first, I didn't think I had the patience to do all of that. But as I continued, I found it interesting and fulfilling. I think I would consider it as a career prospect

That's nice of you to help her and be with her looking her needs .
My grandmother is on bed since a year ,she couldn't able to walk . It's not easy to handle and look after a patient. We all family members take time and shift wise look her . Sometimes we lost patience by doing all this

It's really tough to take care of someone who is ill. It's a noble job, but it can take a toll on the caregiver's health and wellbeing if they don't take care of themselves too. I hope your grandmother gets well soon.

Yeah, you're probably right Taking care of my sister in the hospital wasn't that hard because she's not the type to give me a hard time. I guess it's different when you're dealing with people who have different personalities and attitudes.
