I've been a caregiver for 7 years as a certified HHA. I started off working at an agency as a home maker and fell into caregiving as a career. I really enjoy the caring parts of caregiving. I am a very compassionate worker. I really enjoy getting to know the patients through their personal stories. I have a lot of experience working with Alzheimers and Dementia patients. One of my favorite clients that I've worked with in the past was a patient I considered as family. I cared for her for about 5 years. Building that relationship overtime you become close to them as if they were family.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
