I love being a caregiver. Just having the satisfaction of knowing I can make someones life easier just by my being there to assist them with whatever they may need. My grandfather is the reason I wanted to become a caregiver in the first place. During my childhood My grandfather battle three different types of cancer and me just being there with him during his recovery to do little things like watch golf or do a jigsaw puzzle together or just doing little things like helping him clean of his apartment or making sure he has all the tools he needs to clean his medical equipment really just gave me a passion for wanting to help people that are sick and elderly.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
