Hello my name is Natasha. When I was 14 years old my great grandmother who I was very close to got diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Her memory declined fairly quickly but I was able to take care of her after school and on weekends until I was 18 years old. She then got moved to a nursing home for her final days. That is what started this journey in wanting to become a caregiver, I loved taking care of my great grandmother and I want to be there to care of any others in need. After my great grandmother passed I became a caregiver/resident assistant. After that I took some time off to become a stay at home mom to my 3 wonderful boys! Two of my boys are special needs my oldest is Autistic and my youngest has Stickler Syndrome. I have enjoyed being home with them for the last 5 years but they are in school full time now and I am ready to get back to taking care of others in need. In total I have about 14 years of caregiving experience.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
