What is expected of a caregiver?

If you know someone who's in need, you might have heard of a caregiver before.

A caregiver is someone who voluntarily and independently of an institution takes over tasks from a person who can't do it anymore. Often this is about family or friends of a person with disabilities. The tasks may vary from washing the person to filling in tax letters. Many people don't like cooking or ironing, but they do it for their friend/family member because they like him/her. Carter is not a statute or commitment. You are not rewarded or punished by the government for your work. This is quite a lot to look at. Especially if you are the 


You have to:

  • Clear time: To go to the person, be present, do shopping, prepare things like cooking at home,...
  • Consistent are: You know how important it is.
  • Preparing for emergency situations: In between, something can always go wrong, then you must be able to be present as soon as possible. You must be willing to go through weather and wind for that person.
  • Emotionally strong: Many people have difficulty accepting their limitations, sometimes all their lives are affected and changed by them. That is difficult, both for patient and for caregiver. As a caregiver you always have to be the sun in the house, be optimistic, cope with suffering around you, i.e. have a strong personality.
  • Having your own life in order: If you don't have your own life in order, you can hardly be a good caregiver. You can forget all the above points. So, besides your work, carry out your job as a caregiver and your family take good care of yourself!

Thank you to all the carers for being so wonderful!
