I was 16 when I first was introduced into this field. My mom and sister were Caregivers and I said it's way to hard on me,I cried everytime she came home and said we lost someone. I guess at that age is when God was mending my heart for it. I had done other career paths, but this 1 was just close to my heart. It's like a love, hate kinda thing but do enjoy my time that's for sure. The people and the stories. It's honestly beautiful if you can take just some of the small things out of this job. Your in this person's life for a reason, make it as beautiful as possible. I've been a Caregiver off and on since 2010
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
