1. I was a single child who was raised only by my mother. When I turned 9 her Diabetes got worse and she had numerous strokes and lost her vision completely. Her condition only got worse over time, and that left me being her full time caregiver. I had nurses come by and show me how to care for her. Listed is a couple of things that I did to care for her. Inject Insulin twice daily, give medications, catherize her daily, dress her wound on the bottom of foot daily, cook,clean,wash, check blood suger levels. And this started at the age of 9 for me. 2.) I just like the way I feel after I have helped someone in need. I am a people person and I always try to help whenever I can. 3.)
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
