I am an Independent caregiver currently employed through a home health aide agency. I am certified on 3 levels of care with 5yrs experience. My duties vary but and are not limited to the clients needs. I have experience with clients who are bed ridden and limited movement, clients with dementia and some experience with developmental disabilities. Throughout my years of caring for such individuals I learned how gratifying it has become. Knowing that I can return a favor in caring for the elders comes with its own rewards. Showing them the respect and dignity that they deserve goes a long way. Also being compassionate, giving encouragement along with the rest of these qualities helps build trust in a relationship that is appreciated.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
