I began volunteering when I was in 6th grade for familial and religious reasons. I am now 31. The close connection I had with my grandparents made a lasting impact on who I became as a person. I learned so much from them and for that reason I've always respected elders and I try to learn from them as often as I can. Over the years I've switched from office to medical work, but caregiving has always been at least a part time job for me. I am good at this job because I learn very fast, I understand everyone likes things done "their way" and I try my best to make people feel secure. I treat all people with respect and dignity. Just how I'd expect to be treated if things were reversed.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
