When looking for a caregiver I feel the most important feature is honesty, integrity and making the client as comfortable as possible. I deal with many families who reside out of state and they really depend on me to get the job done, this is not the kind of business that you can call in one hour before your shift begins and say I'm not feeling good. My last client me and my husband worked for an 86 yr old lady with dementia, depression and we worked 7 days week 10 hours per day and in over 4 years we never missed a day you can't leave someone like this alone that's what I feel is a strong commitment and excellent work achievement.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
