I am a certified nursing assistant. I have 8 years of experience: 5 years in Brookdale Senior Living and 3 years at Visiting Angels as a caregiver and hospice worker. I have experience with ADL, bathing, dressing, feeding, helping patients into beds, wheelchairs etc. I also work with dementia patients. I enjoy cooking and can cook when needed. I wanted to become a caregiver after I started helping my grandparents out and seeing how happy they were to have someone help them. I enjoy seeing my patients happy the most. I am proud of myself the most for helping someone with hip surgery by helping her exercise. It was great to see her recover.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
