This is a time when many of our seniors lose their significant other, have lost friends and realize they are not far from it. Many have loss ability or function in their body and they need that extra care, tender, love, and a companion. No one wants to believe they are not what they use to be, strong, independent and happy, and struggle to admit they are not where they use to be and they need help. I love to be able to be that little light and extra help they can receive. A simple smile can always go a long way. The feeling is rewarding especially when the appreciation goes both ways.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
