Hello! I am an licensed Emergency Medical Technician. I have worked for a retired army Colonel/Optometrist for the past four years as his caregiver. Unfortunately, he just passed. I helped him with everything including bathing, transportation, medication distribution, grooming, dressing, wound care, daily exercise, food prep/meals, am/pm care, doctor's appointments, errands, and light housework. Before that I worked for a Home-Care company who worked out of multiple nursing homes and clients homes. I honestly enjoy working with the elderly and being able to make a difference in their lives. I hope I hear from you! Thank you for your interest! Shelby.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
