I became a caregiver over 20 years ago. It Began with my next door neighbor needing help caring groceries from a taxi to her house. She was a senior who was deaf and did not know sign language and she took care of her daughter who had cerebral policy. I began a relationship and help transport to market to doctors appointment. IHSS paid for care and it allowed me to continue care for her and her daughter. Over the years she passed and I took the responsibility of her daughter in my home full time. She lost the battle to cancer and I took care of her till her last breath. I always Had compassion for others helping as much as possible and since then i been working as a caregiver since. I had made a Promise to the woman that was deaf, that I would never leave her daughter in a convalescent home. I am Proud to say I kept that promise. Now I feel I can still help others and I am willing to do what it takes to achieve those goals.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
