First, let me wish Anna, Chloe, Katie, Caitlyn-ladies the best to you and all your endevours, achievement and future working with older adults. May you maintain your patience, stamina and ability to socially interact with those you assist stay with you. I wasn’t planning on being a caregiver. Your talk of burnout and you having to do self care for yourself-yep. Self care is what I’m learning for myself. Keep motivated ladies! Til next time
