Being a caregiver to me, is being able to help a client where they need my assistance the most and to put the family members mind at ease to know that their loved one is being cared for while they tend to their own daily tasks. I love our elderly friends as they have knowledge and experience that I benefit from, just being around them. Being a caregiver means I can set my own schedule to fit both my clients and my own needs. We were fortunate to have my mother-in-law reside with us for some time with taking care of her during an illness that led to her passing away. I found that to be a time that brought us much closer together in our relationship.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
