I've watched my mother be nurse in nursing homes almost my entire life. I have always went to the homes she works in and would just sit and talk to the residents. I love caring for others. I have not officially worked as a caregiver before but I took care of my grandfather when he was diagnosed with cancer. I bathed him and got him to the restroom and when he wasn't able to do anything on his own anymore I did not hesitate to do whatever needed for him. It was a very difficult time for me and my family but I am so happy that I was able to be there for him in his time of need as he had always been there for me.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
