My name is RiKera Thornton I have been working in the healthcare field for over 12 years I started this journey in high school because I have always had a passion for taking care of others, it makes me feel good to offer care for those who may not be able to for themselves any longer or one's that just need that extra push to remind them that they can do it. Taking care of others brings me great joy and I've tried other career pathways but none have my heart as much as being a caregiver. I treat everyone as if they are family and how I would want my family members to be treated, this is just not a job for me it's my passion.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
