We recently asked Doug and his whānau about their Caregiving experience. Doug explained that, at the time, they were a married couple with a young boy who was about kindy age. They saw the advertisement for carers being needed and, having no other significant commitments due to the age of their son, saw this as an opportunity to help people who needed a little bit of support and it seemed like it would work in well with their current lifestyle.
