I was a nurse for over 15 years in a hospital setting, but have not been practicing for many years. I stayed home to raise my children. When they were older, I began my career as a private in-home caregiver working for over 10 years with stroke survivors. Most recently, my husband and I worked with at-risk youth running a home of six boys in foster care. I love people of all ages, but especially seniors. I've had many years of experience interacting with people in a variety of settings, utilizing many skills. I can help with transportation services and home care and any activities of daily living or just be a companion to those who need a friend. I love cooking, crafts and hobbies and enjoy encouraging others.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
