I became a Caregiver because my mother felt that it would be the best career to start at my age. She felt that it would be a big help especially because I've been contemplating on getting my nursing degree. I enjoy the feeling of being useful for the elderly and the sick. Being a caregiver for this long has given me a great outlook on life and has helped me understand the struggles of aging but has also given me time to learn sympathy. I am very proud of being given the privilege of being put into Hospice at my age. It is extremely hard to get the respect from Superiors, and most times, in Home-care, you get promoted, but I was thrown in very quickly because of my work ethic. They gave me quick recognition for training at Middlesex Community College. I am a aspiring singer, and guitarist. I am not attending school at the moment but enjoy teaching myself by being studious at home.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
