I became a caregiver because I wanted to have a job with a sense of purpose. I go to work knowing I am making some kind of difference in someone's life. I specialize in the care of the elderly who have Alzheimers and dementia. I am very proud to say I work with this population and have been told many times it takes a certain kind of person to be able to do so. I am a hard worker and an excellent problem solver. I am kind and patient. I have my own vehicle and I can honestly say over never been late for anything. As my father would tell me "If you're early you're on time, if you're on time your late and if your late you're fired."
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
