I have been a caregiver for 11 years. I am a great caregiver because I am very attentive with the most patience and understanding of many personalities from the most compliant to the most stubborn. I am caring, I take my time in focusing on the needs of my clients. I became a caregiver when I was 18 years old after growing up in a family of care providers. My dad was fireman and mom was a nurse. Being a caregiver is more than a job, it is a passion for me. I believe wisdom teaches knowledge, and I view working with the elderly as a blessing. It is not just a paycheck but a gift to have the opportunity to help my clients. I have helped many clients and most until the end of their lives. My grandmother was one of them that inspired me to keep taking care of those in need. After her stroke, I took care of her for 6 years until she passed away. I have complete understanding and empathy of how important loved ones are to families. I treat my clients like they are my family.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
