I have been a pediatric caregiver for medically fragile children and also for adults on ventilators. I enjoy helping senior citizens with their needs. I encourage their abilities. I have worked with disabled and mentally ill patiends in WA state facilities. My greatest achievement may be keeping a positive attitude while ill with pulmonary fibrosis and then being chosen for a double lung transplant and reaching where I am now with experience as a nurse, caregiver and patient. I raised three sons and then put myself through college. I live in a small town with my two dogs. All of my family live 8 hours away by car. I am independent. I did work briefly last Fall.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
