I began working as a private caregiver a few years ago. At first I was intimidated but soon realized caregiving came fairly naturally for me. My homemaking skills such as cooking, cleaning and organizing as well as my general love and respect for seniors have been great benefits in this field. I'm 26 years old and in good physical shape so that has helped me as well because a lot of my caregiving positions have required quite a bit of heavy lifting. I look forward to new caregiving experiences and furthering my study in the medical field to be able to help people throughout my life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
