I am a caring happy loving person who loves to help and interact with others. At the age of 16 I was my grandmothers caregiver and would care for her before and after school. I was also my quadriplegic cousins caregiver just recently in addition to many others whom I met through the agencies that I worked. I am also a single mother of two young adults whom I adopted when they were babies and between the two of them they had at least 10 doctor appointments a month and my youngest 19 year old, was diagnosed at 15 with Type-1 diabetes. He still lives at home and has taught me so much about the disease that I have taken the steps to preventive care for myself. I love that when I care for others I learn how to individualize understanding and care practices because everyone is unique and special. I believe my personal achievement that I am most proud of is being the single mom of my two adopted children and still able to care for them and learning from their life experiences that directly and indirectly impact them. Also the unconditional love that has grown in and through me.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
