I enjoy making people comfortable and happy. Whether by boosting their spirits with physical help, or taking time to listen and support through mental and spiritual needs. I am a retired 20 year EMT, working with a team of great people on an ambulance service, providing care for our rural northern Wisconsin community. After moving to Texas to help family with a neo-Nate baby ( in hospital for 5 months) , I also started and continued to work at a hospital in McKinney , Tx as certified CNA. I worked 3 years in the Progressive Care Unit, transferring to the CDU UNIT, and then a transfer to the Ortho Unit for better hours. All at same hospital.. I needed night shift work as my Mother needed my help in the daytime hours. She is now 90, I care for her at daytime, and another sibling cares for her at night. She is completely blind and had a stroke 3 years ago.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
