I became a caregiver when I started caring for my grandmother as a young girl. It was not easy when I first started but I like the fact that caregiver needs patience to care for his or her client, which has helped me in my personal life. I have work as a caregiver for five years and I love this job because of how I put smile on people face, helping people in their daily lives. I have work with clients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson, Dementia, Stroke, Diabetes, Cancer and a lot more. I am also interested in furthering my education and becoming a nurse practitioner.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
