I have been in the field of caregiving for many years in various ways. I have done volunteer work for a day program with people with dementia. After that I worked through Senior Services with different individuals and for the 12 yearsI have worked with people with developmental disabilities. I've been a support staff as well as a house manager have helped with toileting, cooking, bathing, grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments, and passing medication. I currently work for a company that works with with the elderly and disabled. I currently do all the above as well as as work with catheters and hoyer lifts. I just enjoy working with people.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
