I became a caregiver after taking care of my mother on hospice and right after taking care of my aunt on hospice. The experience I went through makes me a great care taker because it's not about a paycheck for me. I have compassion for the residents and there families and want to help them during these difficult times. To reassure they are going to be well cared for. I love being a caregiver because at the end of each day I can truly see that Iv made a difference for someone and helped someone the way I personally experienced it during my difficult situation.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
