I always liked helping people. I was the one who took care of family when needed. It seemed I was suited for the job. When m children were old enough I worked first as a Nanny for a family of 4. Then registered with the Agency on Aging and worked in Napa for 20 years as a caregiver. I worked with hospice and saw a few souls to their reward . My last job lasted 9years and always I was treated like family. I have never been asked to leave a job before it was done. I have worked days, nights and 24-hour shifts. I have been lucky to have worked with some very good people, sometimes on the same job. I hope to continue for some time to come. At the age of 61 I feel I still have much to give.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
