I am a certified medical assistant who first became a care giver 22 years ago. I then took time off to be a stay at home mom. Ten years ago my husband became disabled in a train accident and he needed someone to take care of him, it was very important to me to have someone who actually cares, I then decided that no one cared like I do. I recently took care of my 24 year old son who was severely injured in a car accident. In 2013 I worked for 7 months at a facility that housed disabled adults that needed various degrees of assistance with life skills. This facility closed down in August 2013, that is why I am no longer there.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
