For me it is not just a job. It is a profession, a chance to make a difference in someone's life and help to cope with difficult life circumstances. During the last eight years I had many rewarding experiences, which help to maintain a positive, empathetic attitude. Most of the time I have been working as a Live-in caregiver. I took care of clients who had had one or multiple strokes and was very happy to assist them with Physical Therapy exercises to improve their mobility. Others were Parkinson's-, Alzheimer's or Cancer patients. I am also familiar with Hoyer Lift and the use of oxygen. I have a very positive view on life, a good sense of humor and love animals.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
