As a caregiver, I am empathetic, compassionate, patient and have a great sense of humour! I have always been interested in the medical field, and started in 1984 working as an EMT for an ambulance service and ER. That led to my work as a night shift carer and a nursing assistant at two retirement homes. Caring for my late mother (dementia) and my late partner (paralysed from the waist down) brought my work to heart. I believe it is important for the family to be able to spend quality time with their loved one and not have to worry that they are being cared for.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
