About 4 years ago, I took a job as a private caregiver/aid to a middle aged woman with cerebral palsy and dystonia. While working with her, I found my passion for serving/helping people (especially disabled) and decided to pursue nursing school. It truly brings me great joy to help people that are unable to do for themselves. I enjoy being their voice, eyes, and ears. I treat every patient as if they are my own family member. I genuinely care about their well-being, and I believe that is what sets me apart from most health care workers.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
