Hi, I'm Krista! I have said many times in my life that I was born and raised to become a caregiver. I say this because I was raised inside of nursing homes. My mother worked in nursing homes as far back as I can remember. Later my grandmother opened one herself and my mother went to work there. My mother would allow me to go to work with her to help out and spend time with the people. I was taught from a very young age the importance of taking care of the elderly. My mother and grandmother instilled in me a passion for helping and serving this older generation and ensuring that I do everything in my power to make sure that each one I have the opportunity of serving is able to live out their final years with companionship and an excellent quality of life and care. I want to do this work because I love it and it is something I believe to be so important. This is where I find fulfillment and joy. I believe that I get as much out of this work as I give, if not more!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
