I am the 44 year old mother of a kindergartener who just started school, and I have been searching for the right opportunity to work with the elderly. I had a 20 year career at Cargill in project management, and now want to follow my passion - which is elder care. I helped care for my Grandmother who passed away with alzheimer's at the age of 99. I am an extremely compassionate person, and am consistently told that I am an intent and caring listener. I have the utmost respect for the elderly, and would find it extremely fulfilling to make their lives easier, more comfortable, more rewarding - in any way possible.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
