My name is Dominique, and I'm 20 years old. I've been working in healthcare since I was 18. I began early on, taking care of my grandparents when I was 16 and 17. I assisted them and took on the role as a caregiver. I've worked temporarily in nursing homes but I'm most familiar with in home care and it's something I prefer most, it allows me to get close to my clients and truly focus on them. I'm a very patient person, and I love to give back which is partially why I chose to become a caregiver. I want to become a Midwife in a few years but continue caregiving on the side. I love making a difference and being someone that my clients can depend on. I enjoy making connections with my clients the most. Allowing them to be comfortable with me by receiving the best care possible from me, truly makes me feel great. Something I'm very proud of is always being recognized by the companies I've worked for. Although cashiering is very different from caregiving, I'm still dealing with people and helping them in some sort of way. I've always been recognized as a hard worker and someone that really cares about another persons needs. As a caregiver, I am always putting my clients needs first.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
