Hello , my name is Caroline Satterwhite and I am a caregiver. I've been taking care of people since I was younger. I used to take care of my grandmother until she passed away and then I decided to go into being a caregiver for other people. I prefer helping home the home because I personally do not like facilities . I currently have a job with Home Instead and I work at TJ Maxx and I'm going to school part time online. I'm looking for more work due to the other job that I have does not pay enough. I'm still with the company because of my clients that I do take care of . Most of my clients that I've had and have has dementia I'm pretty good at taking care of dementia clients in trying to do the same routine that they used to do just so it's not too confusing for them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
