I always loved cleaning and especially caring for the elderly. I have stayed in their homes while on hospice or just to keep company and comfort. I am leaning more towards being a full time caregiver, it is what I enjoy the most. I still would love to do light housework but mostly focus on the caring for the family member in need.
