For over 20-years, I've been employed by AT&T (formerly Southwestern Bell Telephone Co). I have three adult children and eight grandchildren. I'm a former elected official (Lamar CISD Board of Trustee, 2009-2013). I became a caregiver when my granddaughter, at the age of 4, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014. I drove her to all of her treatments, surgeries, and stayed overnight (as needed) at the hospital in Houston, TX. My granddaughter beat childhood cancer. She is now thriving in school. Then my late father was diagnosed with Dementia in 2017. He could no longer drive. Therefore, I began driving him and my mother to their doctor appointments, as needed. Including either driving my mother to the grocery store or department store so that she can shop. My mother's eyesight is very sensitive to the light and she's losing her eyesight. Therefore, now my mother just gives me her grocery list and I do her grocery shopping. My late father passed away in late 2019. Now I'm my mother's full-time caregiver. Recently, my eldest brother was diagnosed with leukemia. I drive him to his treatments, as needed.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
