Reason why I became a Caregiver is because of my grandmother, she was a great inspiration in my life and when she had trouble remembering things and she asks me a question repeatedly, I couldn't help myself but cried because I had no knowledge about what was going on with my grandmother, I was only 20 years old at that time I had to bathe her dress her and feed her as well. That experience really changed my life around in caring about the elderly population so I decided this is what I wanted to do, help the elderly get through their daily tasks and activities. Now as a CNA I have learned a lot from working in Nursing Facilities, Homecare Agencies, Adult Family Home & Assisted Living and all i have to say is that I love my job.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
