I became a caregiver; years ago, when a friend of mine, who is a caregiver, asked me to substitute for her for a weekend and look after 6 men who were in a home and needed care. Ever since then, I have had a desire to be a Caregiver. I am a people-person; who likes to help others. I have had a couple of people; in my immediate family, who were disabled, so I know what it is like to care for people who are disabled. I have also worked for Company, in and around the Chicago area, as a Caregiver for people who were disabled. I have at least 1 1/2 years experience working with people who were partially paralyzed or had heart problems. I cook, clean, drive them where they need to go, and administer their medications.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
