Over the past 3 years, I have been the care giver of my mother. She was first diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in the summer of 2017, and I placed my studies on hold and moved from New York to assist my mom on all her care needs including going to her appointments. This unfortunate event thought me the importance of caring of a person in need. Nearly all her appointments are in Los Angeles, therefore requiring me to drive her to her appointments and translate since her primary language is Spanish. I had to coordinate her appointments. I have learned that caring of a person is conforting when I make them feel that they can count on me and I am there to listen.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
