I started caregiving when my grandmother needed help. She was fine then out of the blue she got Alzheimer's and dementia then started to develop a heart condition which led her to 3 heart surgeries. I have been caregiving off and on since 2014. I work with a variety of ages. I enjoy helping others who can't help themself not only because they can't physically do it but just because something happened and life took an unexpected turn doesn't mean they aren't "normal" or can't do the things they used to. I like to include them in as much stuff as possible so nobody feels left out or uncomfortable
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
