I was 15 when I decided I wanted to become a caregiver. Taking on the role as my 54 year old grandmother's nurse I knew it was my calling. From the ADLs it all came natural to me. My junior and senior year I began thinking about a career and what would I major in, in college. I graduated in 2006 from high school with my nurse aide 1 license. I've always had a thing for helping others. Every time I want to give up I think of all the people that look forward to seeing my smiling face daily.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
