Hello, my name is YaJaira Martin and I am 22 years old. I have been caregiving in a facility for 2 years. What attracted me to being a caregiver is when I took care of my great grandmother. It was amazing giving a helping hand, reassuring her that she was safe and knowing that she trusted me made me love my job even more. What I love about being a caregiver is that I'm helping someone and they trust me. Meeting new clients and hearing their stories give me so much happiness. One of my personal achievements that I am proud of is being able to take care of my grandmother before she passed and how grateful she was to have me helping her.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
