I have been a caregiver in many ways my whole life. As the eldest child in my family, I was usually left in charge of many things as the adults managed larger projects. As I got older, I played sports and college prep classes, I learned organization, time management and team building. In college and my earlier adult work life, I worked in hospitality, childcare and medical assistant skills that have lead me to more in depth paths of caregiving. I have raised a family, now that are teaching their 30s and have held many leadership positions. I enjoy the one on one smaller projects of caregiving these days. I really want to be off service and safety for someone.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
