I became a caregiver two years ago. I was introduced to caregiving by my mother who at the time was working at a memory care facility. I started working next door at the assisted living building and fell in love with my job and the people I cared for. Never in my past jobs have I felt so much appreciation. The stories I heard, the love I received and the smiles I created were what made it so easy to come to work every day. I am now only working weekends at a memory care home and have all week days off for your availability. :)
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
