I'm a long time caregiver, having worked in Skilled Nursing Facilities as well as in-home. Caring for each other is meaningful to us all, and I am also a Certified Hospice Volunteer. I've worked with all forms and stages of dementia, diabetes, cath care, so forth. I've been a Certified Nursing Assistant in Texas and Florida as well, and this is my lifelong career. I was chosen as Caregiver of the Month last December at a large agency, and it was a pleasant experience I must say! Mostly I enjoy a "well done and thank you" from my clients, and enjoy going home to my little dog, Ethel.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
