Hi, my name is Catherine. I'm currently a college student getting a degree to become a physical therapist assistant. I've been in the private caregiving business for 2 1/2 years and before that I worked for a staffing agency as a LNA which but me in many types of settings(hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes).I became a caregiver after helping take care of my grandfather we got cancer, I've always enjoyed taking care of helping others and my love for the profession grew from there. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver, is to see the happiness I can bring to a client just by doing little things for them or making there days easier along with the families.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
