I started caregiving in 1994 when I was asked to fill in for a college friend and have continued it over the years through friend referrals. I have a big heart and am a natural home maker. I started a nursing degree because of my love of science and helping people but my children's health issues did not allow me the time to finish my schooling. I enjoy cleaning, organizing and helping people. I've taken care of 4 elderly people since 1994; 2 with dementia, 1 diabetic and 1 recovering from cancer.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
