My name is Debbie, and I have been in healthcare for over 37 years as a registered respiratory therapist. I have worked in hospitals and rehabilitation centers caring for adults, pediatrics and infants. I primarily worked with adults and loved it. However, after all the years of 12 hour shifts and heavy patient loads, I have decided to do something new. That is why I chose to be a caregiver. I still can enjoy my clients and provide quality care and have the time to do so. I am 67years old and have been widowed for 10 years. I raised two boys who I am very proud of and a grandmother. I am by myself so I have flexibility for my clients hours. I am a good cook , easy to talk to and very outgoing.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
