I have been a CNA for 2 years now. I first became interested in care-giving when my grandfathers kidneys failed. After the first year of going to a facility for dialysis, he began to do at home dialysis. When he would do his own dialysis at home, I would go over to his house and do whatever I could to make his life a bit easier. After seeing how much help I was to him, I figured why not share my new interest with others who need a little bit more help to function day to day. That is when I decided to obtain my CNA certificate and decided to work as a HHA.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
