I became a caregiver to help people live to the fullest of their abilities. I enjoy sitting and listening to the elderly tell the stories of their lives. I have recently decided to return to school to earn my bachelors degree in business administration with a minor in HR. I hope to one day be able to change the way that caregivers are hired. I believe that to many of the caregivers employed are only interested in a paycheck. That is not what is in the best interest of the elderly. I feel that the elderly deserve someone who honestly cares for their well-being and has an interest in improving their life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
