Focal Point

Read and understand the key concepts.

What is Caregiving?

Humans are far more different from the

other animals. Although most animals show love to
the ones they care for, our need to care for others is
not born out of instinct but from our compassionate
desire to be one with the people, to commune with
others we love. Caring for other has a divine
purpose and meaning to us – compassion being one
of the virtues of a spiritual person, one who has a
strong belief in a much greater Being. What sets apart the brand of caring humans do is
compassion. Compassion is essential in caring for others.

Relevance of the Caregiving Course

Filipinos are known to be compassionate. This compassion

together with understanding of caregiving and mastering the skills of
being one is important and practical.
  Sick family members. If you have skills in caregiving you will be able to help when
someone is sick at home, so the family saves from hiring a professional help.
 Younger siblings. Because a caregiver does not only take care of the sick but also the
young, you will also be of help to your younger siblings in understanding their behaviour
and nurturing them to become better brothers or sisters.
 Weak grandparents. When lolo and lola become weaker, you will be able to assist them
in their needs and this will make them happy.
 Community help. The community also benefits from you. In times of disasters and
calamities, you can keep the victims calm and feel secure and assist doctors in treating
them.

Besides being of help to the family and the community, your skills in caregiving provide
you with better opportunities in life. Many Filipino caregivers are working abroad affording their
families back home with better lives because of the lucrative salaries they earn. What other
opportunities do you have in the Philippines if you are skilled caregiving?

Stay out caregivers for the elderly and the very young
Employment
Hospital or clinic orderly assisting the doctors, nurses and
Opportunities
midwives

Business Establishing a home for the elderly or a day care/drop center for
Prospects infants and toddlers

Medical Technology)

Opportunities of Careers in the Philippines

Other Basic Career Opportunities in Caregiving

Qualified graduate of Caregiving NC II course can find employment as any of the

following:

 Caregiver for infants

Infant caregivers care for babies during their developmentally rich

first year of life. They provide for the physical, emotional, developmental
and social well-being of infants. They may work in their own homes, at a
client's home or in childcare centers. Although the pay is not high, many caregivers find the
work rewarding, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects faster-than-average growth in jobs
for childcare workers.

 Caregiver for young children

Child caregivers look after the basic needs of children, such as dressing,
feeding, and supervising their playtime. They also provide a beneficial learning
environment and a safe “home away from home” for little ones. People who
love working with children and who naturally have a fun, enthusiastic attitude
will thrive as child caregivers. It is common for childcare givers to work in childcare centers, private day
cares, or their own home. Child caregivers’ schedules differ greatly. Some childcare centers are open all
year, with long hours so that parents can drop off and pick up their children before and after work. Some
centers employ full-time and part-time staff with staggered shifts to cover the entire day. Many child
caregivers work full time, but part-time work and flexible hours are also very common.

 Caregiver for people with special needs

Special needs caregivers provide care to children and adults who have
special needs that render them unable to perform regular daily tasks such as
feeding, bathing, and cleaning themselves. Special needs caregivers work all
shifts during weekdays and weekends, depending on the needs of their clients and
employers. Nursing homes, people with special needs family members, medical
facilities, and home health care providers hire special needs caregivers. This job
requires daily travel to patients’ homes.

 Caregiver for elderly

More than ever before, families are providing long-term care to

older adults with limitations in the ability to perform tasks necessary for
independent living. Nearly 25% of American households are providing
care to people age 50 years and over. Families are the foundation of a
stressed healthcare system. Hospital stays are shorter than ever and
family caregivers are often expected to do what healthcare professionals once did, and do so
without training.
