Since a very young age I have always been interested in spending time with older people. I love to help and make people smile. I completed my certified nursing studies in 2007 and it was at that point I realized that caring for people, especially the elderly, was my calling. To me, I think it's being able to put yourself in the older person's shoes and understand that they were also my age once and had the whole world at their feet. I think you need the gift of the gab to resonate with people and make them feel comfortable with you and get to know you better. Home care is a personal experience and it can be incredibly fruitful if the relationship is more caring and personal.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
