I have been a caregiver for over 9 years in a variety of settings. I worked in a hospital for 8 years in Med/Surg, IMCU, ICU, and Neurology. During that time I also worked home health taking care of clients with Alzheimer'/ Dementia as well as clients on Hospice. Over the years it has become more apparent with each case what an intricate role a caregiver plays in the care and understanding of a patient. This is why I do what I do. Being able to make an impact in the life of someone else is the biggest reward. I have always truly enjoyed taking care of others and to make a difference, even in a small way, is why I love what I do.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
