I became a care giver about 9 years ago. I was the person in charge of my father when he was unable to move, to groom to prepare a meal or to do his shopping or simple daily needs, I was always there for him for 3 to 4 hours daily. I have also worked for a Community of Elders as an Office Manager, directly with our seniors getting involved in their financing, medical bills, their diets and nursing skills schedule and billing. I have learn so much, not only on my face to face communcation with them, but also caring for them on communicating with their families and prioritizing their needs.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
