Being a caregiver fulfills me due to my naturally caring nature to want to help others. I took care of my grandfather who was in a wheelchair for the last 20 years of his life. My grandfather needed assistance cleaning and grocery shopping. What was more important than anything was..just sitting with him and talking to him and listening. When I wasn't running errands or taking him to his doctors appointments, we would get his favorite food and just watch a movie. Caregiving is awesome and family needs to feel happy and secure their loved one is being well taken care of at all times!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
