From a very early age I took care of my mother. She was paralyzed on the right side of her body due to an accident that she had when I was 7 years old. I started taking care of her when I was 15. She passed away at 57. I was 28 years old at that time. I cooked, cleaned, helped with shopping and finances. Helped her with grooming and did her hair on a regular basis. Took her to restaurants and doctors appointments. I enjoy taking care of people and making sure that they know they are important and cared for.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
