I love to help people. It's ingrained in me. I firmly believe that helping others is how we find our own place. My BA is in Technical Theatre with a dual emphasis in Sound Design and Stage Management. However, I also studied with the Nursing Assistant Training Institute in Shoreline, WA. I had my first caregiving job in college over a summer, working with a woman with severe mobility limitations, helping her with daily tasks like preparing meals and getting her into bed, as well as hearing her stories. My experience with her is what has drawn me to caregiving as a job path.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
