I became a caregiver when my parents became in need of care and once they passed away I missed being able to be that companion for the elderly. I enjoy being able to help chores, cleaning, laundry and most of all preparing meals. I also like being able to do errands or take my elderly friend to appointments or shopping. My best personal achievement would be my two adult children. I am in my 50's and have no grandchildren and both my children are adults. I own my own business and would like to be able to help seniors out nights and weekends when possible.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
