I always loved taking care of my grandpa Zeke. He had COPD and I had to put his medicine in his breathing machine and get him water when he needed it when I slept over. I choose to help my grandma because I loved helping any way I could. My grandma lives in an apartment building for the elderly and I always when I go help all the ladies out with cleaning or just being there to talk about the apartment gossip. I love caregiving because it gives me a sense of satisfaction of doing something good that I think is fun and very rewarding. I am a good listener, respectful, kind, caring, thoughtful of others, loving, and I absolutely love to help people. I graduated this past year in 2018 when I was supposed to graduate in 2019. I graduated a whole year early because I wanted to get into the work that I enjoy and love which is to help people and give them the care they need.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
