I became a nurse because my great aunt was an amazing woman and role model. She was a nurse and I wanted to be just like her. Homecare has been the field I have been in the most. Graduating from nursing school in 1992 and getting married I started my homecare adventure in Indianapolis. I absolutely loved it and have continued with multiple agencies. Until adopting twin boys with disabilities in 2002. They needed too much care and we have raised a total seven beautiful children. So my work outside of the home has been sparse since then. But they are turning 19 this year and I would like to get to work part time again but still be available as needed for them. So I am only available MTWF in the mornings from 9-1. I know that is limited but feel I could bless someone as I have been blessed.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
