I have an affinity towards helping people, I enjoy the company of elderly people and get a satisfaction out of making them smile, listening to their conversations and knowing that I am making them comfortable. Before I started working as a professional care giver I started in 2008 helping a friend out by doing errands, driving her car for her, cooking, taking her to Doctors appointments and also accompanying her to parties, movies or plays . I have found it to be very rewarding, she was the person that suggested I should do care giving professionally, I applied an was hired by IHSS a care givers company in February 2015. Before that I was employed by AT&T as a bilingual Service Representative from 1998-2008.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
