Most people view caregiving as merely a boring and exhausting job. This is, perhaps, the main reason why many people hesitate or refuse to assume the responsibility of caregiving once a need for it arises. They would rather avail of caregiving services than become caregivers themselves.
However, this notion that caregiving is plain boring and exhausting is not entirely true. Yes, caregiving may be tiring. In essence, this job requires time, strength, and even patience from you. However, it is not as exhausting as many people think it is. You always have the choice to rest and take a break when you need to. In fact, it is an unspoken rule for caregivers to know how to take care of themselves while providing care for others. More so, caregiving can also be fun and satisfying. You do not necessarily have to go out to have fun. There are always plenty of activities available in the home for you and your care recipients to enjoy (e.g. card games, jigsaw puzzle, exercise, singing, and more).
