I became a caregiver because I liked working with the elderly. I'm a people person and I enjoyed helping others. My most personal achievement was getting my certification as a nursing assistant. I'm from North Carolina, I'm married with three children and three grandchildren and I moved to Virginia after graduation. I work at the motel for years as a housekeeper. I enjoyed meeting and talking to people from everywhere. I knew that I wanted to do more and I have always had a reverence for the elderly because of their wisdom and that's why I decided to go and get certified so that I can help them in whatever capacity they may need.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
