Hello, my name is Marie. I have 16 yrs of experience taking care of community peers. I have experienced the broad spectrum of care; from the light need to the more challenging. I was a certified nurse assistant [CNA] for 13 yrs until I let the certificate expire~ [to pursue a degree in Healthcare Administration]. The first 5 years were spent in nursing/rehab facilities followed by assisted living communities, and lastly, in-home care/hospice. Although "Business" is a part of this profession, I've concluded that I'm much better with people... and care is what I do best. Personally, I feel experience is only half of what a caregiver is all about, knowing what is needed and HOW to do it WITH care, compassion and patience is the other half. My expertise is in all activities of daily living.. dressing, showering/bathing, grooming, meal prep, light housekeeping, physical assistance/maneuvering, errands, transporting and companionship. Nursing isn't a "job", it's the respect of aging and the reward of giving.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
