Mr.’s Answer

Emily,

Home health aids often work side by side with nurses. They give medicine, check temperatures and change their clothes. Personal care aides cook, run errands and do laundry. It depends on what experiences you have and what you are passionate about?
Thank you comment icon Thank you, I very much appreciate your answer. I don't have any experience in this field so far, but I am very passionate about helping people and caring for them so I thought this field might be right for me. Thanks again for taking the time to answer it really helped me on making a decision. Emily
