Becoming a caregiver evolved from a friendship born of a senior's transportation needs -- she was a passenger in my taxi at first, and by the time she died (about two years after we met) she told everyone I was her "adopted daughter". I think of the mutual respect I established with the passengers I served (several of whom wouldn't ride with anyone else) as a personal achievement; I'm confident that I can be a blessing in other folks lives now, as well. As for 'a little about [me] -- I hate having my photo taken, so I don't have many to choose from for a profile shot. I'm a square dancer, partial to country music, and my other hobbies are knitting & reading.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
