I have experience in caregiving since the year 2000. Started as a second job at the Rossmoore facility in Walnut Creek California for a few clients at their homes in this senior comunity. In Sacramento I worked from 2005 to 2008 for a few home caregiving facilities and for an Agency called Help at Home. In Romania I worked 3.5 years (2012-2018) for my mom which had strokes and for the father of a friend. Since Sept 2018 I worked for Familiar Surroundings as a live-in caregiver or hourly clients. I'm just living farther now.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
