I have been Caregiving since I was 16 years old. I have witnessed my mom take care of complete strangers as if they were her own family and it is something that has rubbed off on me. I am a peoples person and it makes caregiving a much more valued experience for me to be this way. I have an understanding that everyone's individual needs are different, and as a caregiver I have to be willing to take on the responsibilities that come with those needs. This is one of many traits that I believe make me a great caregiver. In my culture, it is the norm for parents to grow old and become dependent on their children or family members. But not everyone has family that is willing to take on such a task, and not everyone's familial circumstances allow for responsibilities with such great need. So it brings me joy, to be able to utilize what I have learned from my mother and my past caregiving experience to help families with their caregiving needs, whether it be for themselves, or their loved ones.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
