I am the fifth of thirteen siblings. Having a large family, I learned to care for sick relatives and friends, mainly massage. I served two years as a Red Cross volunteer at the NAS Lemoore Hospital, where I learned public relations and service management. I began taking care of my Mother since 2016, who has dementia, because I enjoy the challenge of taking care of her. Several years ago I helped my brother get into the feild of caregiving and now that I have finished my past career path as a driving instructor, I wish to move into a career of caregiving because it is what I enjoy and perform every day.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
