I am not a caregiver yet, but I want to become one. I like working with people, especially the elderly. I want to make sure they are not taken advantage of. I worked at the Highlands County Jail 27 years. I took a special interest in the older generation. I was born and raised in Avon Park, Fl. I graduated in 1972. I attended college for 1 year. I started working for United Telephone for 13 years, and then Highlands County Sheriff Office for 27 years. I retired December 31, 2013. I am getting bored and want to go back to work helping people.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
