Caregiving for me was a concept introduced early in my life. My grandmother, for the entirety of my life, was bedridden and crippled from severe rheumatoid arthritis. I was the oldest of the children so very early on I was bestowed the responsibility of my grandmother's care, as well as my siblings so the adults could work. Caring for other people and filling the gaps where they might need help caring for themselves is something I have become familiar and experienced with, and also recieve a great deal of satisfaction from. It is my perspective that helping elderly and people with disabilities is not only a necessary job in our society, but also a privileged one in which you can contribute directly to the quality of someone's life. In addition to caregiving I have worked as a physical fitness instructor at several prominent gyms, and have many recreational skills such as art and gardening, which can be applied to the benefit of my clients.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
