You'll look forward to spending time with many of your clients and they’ll be happy to see you, as well.

Many jobs lack purpose. Being an in-home caregiver isn't one of them. Each day you report to work, you'll help ease the load of caregiving on tired family members. You'll interact with individuals that don't get many visitors, and you'll make a real impact on the lives of others.

You may provide short-term care for some of your clients healing from surgeries or other injuries, and you may provide long-term care services to others. You'll work in many different environments, meeting different needs all the time.
It's important to note that you may work an erratic schedule due to the nature of working as an in-home caregiver. Your clients will need care at different times, and you may end up working weekends, evenings, or other non-traditional work times when care is still necessary.
Workdays will be different, and many will be interesting and unexpected. If you like completing a variety of different tasks and interacting with many people, you'll enjoy serving as an in-home caregiver.
