I've been in the health care field since 2011. I Started off working in adult foster care then transitioned into working at a Daytime Enrichment Program. Recently, I've started Helping Hands In Home Respite Services to provide families with temporary breaks from taking care of their loved ones. I started my journey assisting others in this field shortly after leaving college to help take care of my mother in 2010. One thing I love about working as a caregiver is the people that I serve. Helping those in need brings great rewards; building new relationships, learning and experiencing new tasks, making someone's life a little better, one day at a time.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
