I worked in home healthcare as a caregiver for many years. I have always chosen jobs that allow me to interact with people because patience and interacting with all types of people are my strong points. I learned so much from the people I worked for that it really enriched my life. Since most of my clients suffered from Arthritis I took classes in Arthritis care and treatment and aim certified to teach land and water Arthritis exercise classes. I am also certified in CPR. For the past three years I have been a volunteer at St. Baldricks, a non profit charity for childhood cancer. This reinforced to me how important it is for any family to have support for their family members when they can't be there. I really enjoy being able help families know that their loved ones are in good hands.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
