Caregiving is a special job to me because it connects you to people on a level that no one but the two of you will understand. I have worked with many families through a home health company I used to work for and many of my clients became a second family. I present a professional and intelligent manner in regards to healthcare, but I also know the importance of remembering that who you are taking care of is a human being who gets angry and frustrated and embarrassed. I am patient and kind and this field is my passion. The connections that I have made with previous clients is what I'm most proud of in my three year career in senior care. I have just been accepted to Galen College of Nursing where I hope to gain an associates degree with credentials in neonatal care. I'd like to go back to get my masters to work as a neonatal nurse practitioner.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
