Stacy, I also didn't know there was a National recognition day for our devoted caregivers! Thank you for bringing this to light.

Stacy this is wonderful - especially helpful is the description!! All of these videos have value! I am not a caregiver, exactly. I am a Quality Life Coach, but I also work with family members and alongside employed caregivers that have been outstanding! I had no idea there is a National Caregivers Day - a worthy acknowledgement for sure! Thank you for your content 💖
