At that moment, I am the only person in the world who knows how to best take care of my parents. I know their medical needs, their day-to-day care routine, their little habits, and what they like and don't like. I am qualified to be their caregiver and I am giving them the best care and attention they deserve. I hope that what I tell myself is something that you tell yourself also. I didn't feel prepared when I first became a caregiver, but with the support of my family, doctors, and social workers I made it through. Being a caregiver to my parents as they age has been so rewarding and I am proud of my role. I love being a caregiver.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
