I became a caregiver on account of my good friend Ronnie Starling who was treated "bad" repeatedly by others and I wanted to save him from that kind of life, which he did not deserve and give him a safe and nurturing environment by taking care of him in my home. I took care of Ron on a volunteer basis for almost 2 years and It was on account of Ron that I decided to go to college for HHA/CNA in order to learn professional care in order to to take even better care of him! What I like most about caregiving is the satisfaction I get meeting other people's needs, making sure they lack for nothing and just being able to make their lives a little easier, comfortable and more fulfilling mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually. I love to be an encouragement in any way possible. I have worked with Alzheimer's decease and Dementia patients as well as end of life care. I only wish to be of help to those in need.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
