When I was very young I despised dirt and still do till now: I always will wash my hands, handle things that are filthy away from my body, and this made my brothers call me "Doctor in the house". I wanted to be a Medical Doctor but the death of my mom changed my course of life for me. I took care of my dad till old age before he passed, also took care of a friend that was diagnosed with HIV before she passed; I have since 2008 became a certified caregiver in order to walk in my passion despite my degrees in computer science and being an Accountant for some years. Giving care to people that needs help, communicating with them that needs someone to talk to, encouraging hope, and been there when needed is what I love to do.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
