Also educated in early childhood development, I felt very comfortable and drawn to seniors and started working as caregiver in 1995. From there I worked as CNA in nursing home in Germany. When our facility opened a memory care I was selected and given classes in dementia and Alzheimer care. I worked in memory care in Germany until 2009 when I moved to Savannah GA. My last job in the US I was a medication manager in a personal care home until we moved to Hawaii last month. In my free time I love spending time outside, love hiking, running, swimming and now snorkeling.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
