I started caring for the elderly at a very young age. I cared for my great-grandparents at the end of their lives and volunteered in nursing homes from the time I was in elementary school. I enjoy working with the elderly population because, in my opinion, they tend to be overlooked and forgotten about. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Human Services in 2018 and left my long-time sales career for a more meaningful position in life, and I've found my passion working with the elderly population. One of the best parts of being a caregiver is being able to connect with clients.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
