From 1993 to 1994 I took care of my Grandfather who was 94 years old and died just two weeks before his 95th birthday, this was the turning point in my life that birthed within me the desire to be a caregiver. From 1997 untill 2012 I began to work fulltime as a caregiver, including my late wife who went blind and had dialysis because of kidney failures due to diabetic from 2005 to 2010 when she passed away. When you can feel the pain of your own loved ones it will be like a spark plug of feeling the pain of those around you. So I've learned to be able to love and care for other elderlies as I did to my own grand father; as well as other younger ones as I did to my own wife who was 52 when she died after 5 long years of suffering. The work of a caregiver like a ministry to me, when you sow love, kindness, patience, understanding and encouragement to your suffering friends, your heart is blessed .
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
