I have been caring for people since 2015. It started out with a young girl that has cerebral palsy and I cared for all of her needs throughout the day, from bathing, feeding, changing, passing medications, driving to activities and at home physical therapy. I have also worked in a handful of different homes of elderly people being their personal caregiver. My duties were about the same as my previous position, house cleaning, medications, driving individual to and from doctors appointments, physical therapy, creating a fun environment that helped them feel like they were more than a patient. My current position is working with adults/elderly with developmental disabilities. I have in the past worked for a handful of families being their nanny and have always loved the more personal attention that I could give in the setting. I have a huge passion for helping and caring for people and plan to work in this line of work for the rest of my life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
