Most people spend their lives chasing work to give them meaning. For you, the work found you first. As a caregiver, it’s etched into your DNA. The work was already coming for you, long before you even realized it was your calling. It’s a part of your core. Maybe it was a childhood spent watching over siblings while the house fractured around you.Maybe it was a hospital room, a long illness that carved empathy into your bones.Maybe it was simply being the one everyone else leaned on, until carrying the weight became second nature. The truth is, you’re not just working a job. You’re stepping into what you were always destined for. Some people run from the cracks in this world. You? You pick up the pieces and put them back together. Each day you step into the quiet places where lives hang in the balance, and you hold them steady. A senior who can’t stand on their own. A voice trembling through a story that matters more than anyone realizes. Dignity held in place for just one more day.
Caregivers aren’t born. They’re forged. In fire, in loss, in love, in scars. And when the world calls, you answer — carrying a fire that burns bright.

That’s why this role feels less like a job and more like returning to something already etched into your bones.
