What makes me a great caregiver is that I have been one all my life. I was a member of the Junior League of Boston, MA, and also Austin, TX, and served the community for fifteen years as a volunteer at Massachusetts General Hospital in the Rehabilitation of the Amputees, the Cape Cod Hospital in the Pediatric ward, and in Breckenridge Hospital in Austin, TX, in the newborn nursery. I was the main caregiver for both my mother and father during my life with them. I also worked for Brookdale Senior Living in their skilled nursing facility in Sun City Center for nearly a year and a half and have been taking care of a quad for a year in Brandon. I also ran a missing children charity in the Brandon area for five years and we were the second largest missing children organization in the US with 468 missing children nationally and internationally. I also am a published author and am working on my second book about my missing daughter's case. She has been missing for 25 years.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
