I have always cared for people, but in 1993 my brother got sick with HIV, and I had to help my mom with him so the hospital educated us on how to care for him. My dad was a Pastor so my mom and I would team up and take care if they sick and shut in. I have a love for people that is unexplainable. So I changed my career from haiestyling to care giving. In 2011my mom had back surgery so I took off and cared for her until she was able to walk again, helping with physical therapy, bathing cleaning her house cooking and running errands.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
