I retired this year and decided I would not be home sitting down and getting lonely or flabby. I have been providing respite care for about 4 years for church members during weekends so I decided to make it my retirement job. I am very patient, love to clean, cook, chat. I have been taking care of hospice and assisted living seniors for several years during weekends while working full time during the week so I am now doing it for an agency and also taking clients on my own. What I like the most about my caregiving job is to see my seniors being happy and no longer scared and lonely wondering who will help them to stay independent as long as they can.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
