I became a caregiver because I have the heart and desire to work with the elderly. Before my greatgrandmother died, when I would come home from school, my job was to assist her with anything that is needed such as: feeding, bathing, changing diapers, wheelchair assistance, laundry, and assistance with trying to memorize some things since she had Alzheimers. I've have also had experience at a few nursing homes and working house-to-house. It puts a smile on their face to see me take great care of them and for them to know that sompone does care about them in whatever situation they're in. That's what I'm mostly proud of myself about. I think of it as it can may be me one day, I would want someone to take great care of me as well as I do for them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
