10 words to describe your caring role

[rosemary]

It is a long time since we had this thread and have many new members since that may want to contribute. Even members that have been here for some time may find the words they chose last time have changed. Whether for better/worse remains to be seen.

So 10 words...or less....which would you use to describe your caring role and how you feel? All positive/negative? A mix of both...???
