Hi my name is Lois, I have been a caregiver for the last 2+ years. I originally became a caregiver to take care of my grandmother who was very ill and could no longer achieve her daily tasks on her own. From their I decided to become a full time caregiver because I found that im not only good at it but I love being able to help individuals with tasks they can no longer do on their own to make their lives easier for them. I have finally reached a personal state of gratitude knowing I can make somones life just a little easier to manage at the time in their life when things are not as easy as they use to be. I have got all the basic requirements needed for a caregiver only because I choose not to further my education in the medical field. I feel working one on one with a specific client is more personal and satisfying for both me and the client. I enjoy the time I spend with them each and every day I can. I believe I am a great caregiver for almost anyone because I have not found a client yet I cannot relate to or help one way or the other.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
