I believe what makes me a great caregiver is my genuine care and compassion for all the people I work with. I have been an official caregiver since July 2016. I have a lot of experience with Alzheimer's/Dementia. I also have experience in clinical settings and with nursing care due to my education to become a nurse and I worked in a convalescent hospital as a student so I know how to change a bed bound client, even by myself, and know how to administer medications if needed and how to perform bed baths and showers for clients. *** due to school I am only available Monday-Friday for day shifts. Tuesday and Thursday not available until after 12pm and Wednesday I have class 12pm-5pm making Wednesday availability limited. I am not available most weekends but if planned ahead of time I can work 2/3 weekends out of the month.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
