When my best friend was diagnosed with cancer during my senior year, I decided to switch to homeschool and become her full-time caregiver. I never realized how much passion I had for helping others when they can't care for themselves. I also realized how tiring and draining it can be to watch someone so close to you get sick. I am a nursing major right now and I would love some more experience and the ability to spend more time and build relationships with people. I hope to be able to use my knowledge and passion for loving people to be a blessing to someone and truly impact their life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
