I became a caregiver 15 years ago because I enjoy helping others. I started out as a CNA working in a nursing home. The most rewarding part of providing care is knowing that because of me someone's life is improving and that I make a difference. After my work as a CNA, I entered the public school system and became a handicapped children's assistant. I currently work as a paraprofessional providing assistance to children with special needs. I am a mother of 3 wonderful children ages 17, 7, and 2. I feel very fortunate to be able to offer my compassionate and patience to those that truly need my help.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
