I began my career as a caregiver working in an all memory care community. Being able to help my residents live a fulfilling life was an honor that helped me realize that I wanted to further my education in nursing. I obtained my education as an RN and continue to work in long term care facilities with the elder population. My goal is to incorporate my skills as a caregiver with my skills as a nurse to help my elders live a long, healthy and happy life. My goal is to provide resident centered care. I like to get to know my residents, what they did in their younger years, what they like to do now, etc. My favorite thing to do with my residents is to make them laugh by being silly or telling them jokes. Their happiness is important to me.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
