I became a caregiver when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I decided to be the one that gave her strength to keep going. After taking care of my mother for 5 years I had decided to go to Nursing School. Currently I am a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) as well as a Home Health Aide. I have been a CNA for 7 years and a HHA for 5 years. Changing my field of profession was a big achievement for me because I never truly knew what it felt like to make a difference in other people lives everyday with just helping them with their daily activities. I thrive on knowing that I make a difference in people lives. It is a joy to know that I can make some one feel better with just my companionship.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
