I like to present myself as having a Servant's Heart. I am Compassionate, Friendly, Outgoing, and have the tendency to assure the people I assist to feel comfortable and worthy. The need for elderly care and companionship attracted me to begin working as a caregiver. I enjoy knowing that I make a difference in elderly citizens' lives. I am a retired flight attendant and have been trained in CPR and other first aid practices. I worked approximately 2 years for a family whose father was a retired Army Colonel. He had Parkinson's disease and Lewy Body dementia. I recently was requested, by the daughter of an 82 year old lady who I had previously cared for, to travel to FL to stay with her mother for one week while she traveled back to IL for meetings. I would consider accompanying an elder client if need be to travel.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
