After caring for my mother in law for 3 years, I decided I wanted to become a caregiver full time. Being a caregiver isn't just about giving, but also about receiving. I get so much enjoyment from helping others. Maybe it's just helping them walk across the room, or helping to prepare a meal, or taking them on an errand that they haven't been able to do. The smile of approval that I receive from them is worth so much at the end of the day! Helping someone to feel that they are still important and valuable in this life is so very important, especially for our older ones. I am CPR certified, have a clean background check in my personal file, which I would be happy to fax to you, and I will have my CNA license in January. I have a love for animals and the outdoors as well. And I'm a licensed hair stylist. I have been doing hair for 28 years and I love the creative outlet of it as well as the relationships I have built with my clients over the years. I am also quite particular when it comes to paying attention to detail and scheduling.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
