I choose to be a Caregiver to be, both, a blessing and to "give back" for what has been done for me, personally. I have been a Caregiver throughout my life, beginning with my sister (nine years older), with Special Needs, and confined to a wheel chair. I was also Caregiver to my mother when diagnosed with Cancer, until she passed away. I then began taking care of my sister, full time (now resides in a nursing care facility due to medical reasons). I have a sincere understanding of the concerns and responsibilities surrounding the care and safety of our loved ones. I have also volunteered for 20 years in Community Outreach Ministries, assisting individuals, families and the elderly. I am grateful to have the opportunity to help others, assisting them to continue to live as independently, as possible. It is not just a job, it is a great life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
