This is an ideal way to get a glance into the caretaker industry. A humorous and relatable story collection is great to see a snapshot of what happens in this job and the how the people involved interact with one another.

It is good to see that someone wrote a book that highlights the important work of CNA's and other care workers to those who may not be familiar with the challenge this work represents. Thanks for the review.

Your review is very interesting. I like the fact that how you have related this book to your life, but this book does not interest me. Thank you for your review!

Wow. Great review. It looks like a great story. Never read a book about caretakers before and I'm interested to read a book from this point of view. This will be a great help to us who don't know what kind of job does a careworker has. Cheers for this!

Generally, I don't really read much non-fiction. This sounds like a very sweet book, however, that offers a fascinating glimpse into someone's vocation.

The author goes from caterer to caretaker, and this sounds delightful. Having a recent experience with healthcare workers recently, I am fascinated with what happens in a normal workday for them.

I like the fact that this book only focuses on the positive. That makes me want to read it even more. I love positive stories.

Health is truly important. It's hard to find people who are willing to dedicate their selves and lives to serve others as a job despite knowing that it is highly unpaid. I agree that these dedicated people are truly unsung heroes. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the review.

Very relatable for me. I was recently certified as a State Home Care Aide for Washington state, and it really opened my eyes more to those that need assistance in their every day lives. The consumers that I work with in respite care are pretty independent in their lives, but there are just some tasks that they need in assistance with. I truly enjoy working with them and love working with them. It will be interesting to see how the author handles the circumstances he gets in and to see how things function within his clients' care teams in comparison to how things are done in Washington.

Though they work hard they go for an underpayment.

I believe that most of out public servant is like Christopher. Christopher shows his love and passion on his work even though he’s not paid fair on his job he really do his duty. This book shows me how to become a social/care worker and a public servant as well. Great book to read.

There are vocations which might be less in pay, but very gratifying when having the feeling of being of service to humanity. Such is the service-oriented fields of health care, fieldworks of humanitarian missions of the United Nations, or philanthropic initiatives of non-governmental organizations. To take part in these will find yourself immersed in emotionally-filled workplaces under dire circumstances. Thank you for your interesting review.

This book touches on a topic and a profession I’ve never really thought about. However, it’s one I’m sure will impact me at some point in my life. I think it’s great that the author is shedding light on care workers and heir dedication and passion for the job.
