What is Caregiving?
Caregiving always occurs in the context of a relationship. Whether we are caring for a child, a spouse who is sick, a friend who broke an arm, or neighbour who lost a family member, we are caring for them because they matter to us. Caregiving consists of the activities and commitments that one provides to the other person.
