hello! Ive been a caregiver for about 7 years now, i fell into this role since my mother had a brain aneurysm and stroke in 2009. I was her full time caregiver for a couple of years until recently. I'm a certified nurse assistant and have been working in healthcare for about 6 years now, i recently worked at elmhurst memorial hospital in which i was there for about two years, although i recently left due to my school schedule. I'm going back to school this august for nursing but only two days a week. Im a very friendly and kind person, i've enjoyed helping out people and looking after them.. There's no simple way of explaining it, when you have it in you, you have it in you. I love knowing i'm helping someone in life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
