I became a caregiver in 1999. I wanted to be a caregiver when I lost my mother in 1998. At that time I wanted to make a difference in someone who was either sick, elder or someone whom could not care for themselves life. I get great rewards being a caregiver. Me and my sister care for our dad from 2010 to 2012 in our home. He was diagnose with Alzheimer. It was the hardest thing I ever did as an caregiver. This is why I am and became a caregiver who not only just work but also care.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
