Care giving became an interest in my life when my husband, and I decided to relocate where his elderly mother resided. At that time, I started taking care of an 90 yr. old female in-law. I assisted with her activities of daily living, and realized how much I enjoyed helping someone in the later years of life. I enjoy care giving because it really gives me a sense of self worth. Just to see a smile on someones face, and knowing that you've help to make someones day, enlightens my heart. One of my most proudest achievements was getting my C.N.A. State Certification. I'm 51 years old, and I love people. I've worked as a caregiver for the past ten years. Care giving has been one of my passions, because I've always had the sense of urgency to help people. I'm patient, reliant, honest, sympathetic, and most of all a good listener.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
