Growing up at home we couldn't afford caregivers and I never heard of the word caregiver. My mom was a fulltimes mother and she was never leave the house to get a pay job but stay home and take care of us 8 kids with her mother and help her mother in law when needed. We would go to school come home and everyone of us have roles in caring for our nena. Since childhood till i left the island to come here have my own little family I realized caregiver jobs will fit me well for i have done it my whole life. And since than caregiving give me the chances not to just help and care for people but to expand the circle of families for me. I get to love people as my own, care for them beyond expected and it helps me everyday not only to be a better person but to be a better mother to my kids too.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
