I fell in love with caregiving while I was taking care of my mother at home and seemed like something I was very good at it. After she was placed in a nursing home, I worked as an activity asst for a year and continued to be my mom's advocate. From there I worked with Alzheimer's residents for about 3 years, then continued working off and on in elder care throughout most of my working history. I enjoy helping others that need the assisting. Being 1 of 3 caregivers chosen by a client for providing her cares only was to me quit an achievement!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
