Growing up in the COGIC there were many elderly attendees. So, myself and other children were taught to go out of our way to tend to the needs of our elders. I believe I am an old soul and can connect to our elderly community with patience and respect. I'm very compassionate and connect on a different level with people who have special needs. Working as caregiver for the first time in 2015 I was recognized for my work with Dementia clients. My care managers believed and trusted in the care I could give to these individuals. So much so that I was their first choice for clients with Dementia who had been labeled as "difficult". I enjoy learning about a persons history and knowledge they might be willing to share.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
