I became a caregiver because I am compassionate, empathetic, and I enjoy working with the elderly. I believe our elderly can teach us a lot and we can learn a lot from them; if we would just slow down and listen. I enjoy and derive great satisfaction by helping others; I always have. I have raised two great children by myself and I currently work and continue to take classes. I am constantly learning and experiencing new things and I continue to broaden my horizons. I have worked in the assisted living field for 10 years. My last job was a supervisor role as a medication assistant. I oversaw caregivers and made sure our residents received all the quality care they need. I ordered medication and worked closely with physicians, nurses and Hospice. I worked in the memory care unit and took care of up to 36 residents with Alzheimers/dementia. I am also a medical assistant with a current CPR/first aid certificate. I am able to take blood pressure, monitor blood glucose levels and inject insulin.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
