I was born and raised in the redwoods of Northern California. My family and I moved to Texas in 2017. I've been married for 12 years and have two elementary aged children. My mom was the activities director in a care home when I was a kid, and would go to work with her often to play games and do crafts with the residents. When I was 16 the owner asked if I wanted a job and I excitedly accepted. My passion for caregiving started at a very young age. I love engaging and getting to know my residents/clients on a personal level. We typically end up becoming best friends. I love shopping for my clients when I'm out and about, finding a sweater or particular jewelry item I know they would love. I want them all to be spoiled! I have even gotten my kids into coming to work with me at the last carehome to volunteer by playing games and doing puzzles with my residents. My dream is to one day own a residential carehome of my own.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
