Caregiving Archives

Sisters Delnita Brown, 55, (right) and Le’Era Boyd, 44, (left) share a moment outside of their home in Riverside, California, on October 9, 2024. Brown has been caretaking for various family members and outside clients for over 28 years. For the past 19 years she has been the caretaker of her sister, Boyd. After giving birth, Boyd suffered neurological and other complications from her existing disability. Shortly after, Brown officially became Boyd’s caretaker, helping her raise her son who is now 19 and attending college. Brown says she encourages her sister and supports her to be independent and a mother to her son. “I look at her and I know where she came from,” Brown said, adding that one of the most rewarding parts of caretaking is seeing her sister’s success.
