Hi my name is Deborah. I became a caregiver in April 2020 after I decided to quit the Insurance Business as a licensed agent after 20 years. I have always enjoyed the elderly and use to go visit people at the nursing homes just to visit with them. My friend asked me about becoming a caregiver to a lady she knew that was in need of someone to help her during Covid. I fell in love with lady and was with her till her dying day. I still have her best friend and a couple of others I still work with now and then but not on a regular basis. I enjoy spending time with the elderly, they are so knowledgeable and wise! Most of the elderly I work with have no family here, so I enjoy being a little part of family for them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
