I have been a care giver for the past 10 years. To be honest I never thought this was a field I would have been this dedicated to, however this is now my passion. I spent the past 10 years working for an assisted/independent living facility and have had the pleasure of helping my residents in all facets of their daily lives. I started working for my facility part time as a resident care assistant. Within my first year I joined on as full time. A couple years later i became the lead floor supervisor. A few more years after that, I also became the business office manager. I was also the back up designee administrator to the facility, which required me to know all aspects of my facility including ADPH (Alabama Department of Health) rules and regulations for my facility. I have worked with PT/OT/SP therapists while they were in my facility. I have also worked with hospice as needed for my residents. I enjoy working with seniors, they have so much to offer.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
