I started out as a SRNA from 2001-2003. Then in 2015 I knew I wanted to get back into caring for the elderly. So I became a caregiver. I absolutely love what I do! I enjoy talking and getting to know my clients. I always loved spending time with my grandparents when I was little, so I knew I would love being a caregiver. I feel that it's a very rewarding career. I normally work 12 hours (8a-8p). I love to work as many hours that I can. I believe that it helps Alzheimer's clients need to see the same face so that they can get comfortable with you.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
