Hello! My name is Marilyn. I'm the type of Caregiver that is calm, polite, neat, and with structure. My hobbies have been drawing, reading, TV, and some socializing. I chose to be Caregiver because after I certified for Medical Assistant, I tried a few jobs in that role but they didn't work well with me. So I ended up working as a Caregiver because I thought the role seemed easier to do than as a Medical Assistant. If I had enough time to certify as Nurse Assistant, I'd look forward to doing that someday. My greatest attractions as a Caregiver is having a Senior count on me for the sake of his/her well-being and building relationships. My personal achievement is to still have a job and have a life of my own right now.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
