I became a Caregiver because after working over 19 years in custumer service/sales, I wanted to do something that would allow me to give back to society instead of taking from it. I wanted to offer my help to those who needed it the most. The best thing about being a caregiver is seeing the smiles on my client's faces when I come in to work or picking up the phone and hearing them on the other end asking how was my day when I was off from work. I enjoy taking my client's new places and introducing them to new things; such as, the zoo, amusement parks, museums, and even swimming. My personal achievement is meeting my husband, who has taught me financial stability and has taken me on several adventures all over the world. I enjoy meeting new people and helping those in need. I believe that we should "pay it forward" without looking for anything in return, because I know that God will bless me as I bless others. I am VA Med Ceritified and CPR/First Aid Certified.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
