I have been a caregiver since I was a child. My Grandfather was bedridden for 15 years with RA and I was the oldest daughter, so I helped my mother with his care. I also cared for my Aunt who suffered from mental illness. She was diagnosed as bipolar and she was also schizophrenic She was also a diabetic with hypertension. I have also been an In Home Care Provider for a non family member who suffered from breast cancer. She lived with me until she passed away which was 34 months. I moved to Somerset to care for my dad who was diagnosed with Congestive heart failure and he was also an insulin dependent diabetic with hypertension and COPD. I cared for him 18 months until his passing and I now I'm a resident of Pulaski County. I'm also a foster parent and I adopted my son from the program when he was 13 and he is now 15. I have a total of 5 children and 4 Grandkids, 2 of which are twins. Caring for others is so good for our hearts, minds and souls. There's no other feeling like helping those in need. God loves us and wants us to do his work which is loving and caring for others as we do ourselves.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
