I have worked as a CNA/Caregiver since 2001. I have cared for clients in both nursing homes, assisted living homes as well as in their own homes. I enjoyed doing my job, because I am not only giving care for my clients, I am also being their friend, shoulder they can lean on, ears that listens and sometimes, just being there for them. Sometimes we get caught up with life's fast pace that we unintentionally forget that our elder family member needs our attention, or our acknowledgement that they are still part of our lives, that they are still important to us, that we still love and care for them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
