I started my career being a Caregiver way back 2014 when I was given an elderly client -- both in their 90's; a male and female. One has Dementia and one with Parkinson's disease. Being the person in-charge of taking care of them I make sure that their welfare are always in top priority by giving them care with compassion. My training as Certified Nursing Assistant earned from Mountain View Los Altos Adult Education equipped me to become a confident and competent in this field. At present, I am working full time as Paraeducator at Santa Clara County Office of Education. As Paraeducator, I am tasked to assist the teacher in the Special Education program to manage the classroom and the students -- making sure their academics and day-to-day activities in school and community are met.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
