I became a caregiver when i was the age 14 teen years, my neighbor needed help so I went down the street and took care of her up until she passed. She was the reason that made me want to become a caregiver. I enjoy being able to become part of somebody else's family knowing that I can help them stay in their home and be who they want to be and don't have to stress over the little things. What helped me become a better caregiver was learning from the people I take care of how they live daily without having help. You learn different things to help them be able to still be independent like they was before they needed the help.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
