I became a full time caregiver to my mother at home who had dementia and Parkinson. My mother who gave me life wasn't able to take care of herself anymore so I took care of her until she died last month. I loved taking care of my mother cause she was easy to take care of and she was always there for me since I was a little kid so it was my turn to take care of her when she was sick. I was very proud of myself cause I was able to take care of my mother as long as I could. I am now trying to find a job here in Seattle, WA.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
