Hello, My grandmother fell ill about 2012, and this prompted me to start helping her out. She has always been a huge part of my life and to see her helpless really hurt me. I decided to help her out as much as I could and took on the role as her caregiver. I provided her meals and helped with transportation. I also ran errands for her and massaged sore parts of her body. I would also administer medication for her and remind her of her need to take her medicine. I would also just provide her with companion care. Listen to her stories and make her laugh. It really made me realize how special the elderly are and how there needs to be more people with a compassionate heart to take care of them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
