I enjoy helping others. It gives me the satisfaction of knowing I can do something for someone that makes a difference in their life. I helped to care for my grandmother as she was bedridden. My Mom had a stroke and had to be put in a nursing home because of medical issues. I started a home cleaning business 9 years ago. I began a job cleaning for a couple and it turned into a full tiome job going every day of the week and sometimes I would go on weekends if they needed me. They needed grocery shopping done, took to medical appointments, cooked for them and assisted her with bathing and dressing. They had to go into a nursing home and have since passed. I am occasionally in touch with their son/daughter-in-law in SC. I like being with people and doing for them. My grandmother told me I would make a good Social worker.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
