I became a Caregiver after taking care of my aunt during her illness. I realized it was a very fulfilling job and I like to give comfort to people in their time of need. Since then, I've become a full-time Caregiver. I'm really proud that I've been able to build a career out of taking care of people. I know how stressful things can get, so I'm proud that I can be a rock for a family. Always on time and always with a smile. I've lived in DC my whole life and love this city. Some of my favorite activities are board games, so if your loved one loves to play something (scrabble is my favorite), we'll get along just fine. I also love to cook, which I think is very important for senior care. Some seniors don't feel like eating much, but a good, home-cooked meal is often enough to make them want to eat again.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
