I like elderly people. They are a wealth of knowledge and deserve our upmost respect. I like being a caregiver because it gives me a chance to give them kind and gentle care, make their days be a little better and make a difference in their every day lives. Sometimes doing this job can have its challenges. Different people have different personalities. I have taken on challenge after challenge without becoming flustered. I am 49 years old. I am married for 23 years and am a resident of Park Ridge, NJ. I have two lovely kids, Patricia (14) and Andrew (11) and a dog that is 1 1/2 years old.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
