In 2009 my cousin was a burn victim. She didn't have insurance and couldn't afford to go to a rehab facility, so i flew out to Florida to take care of her. I was her primary care giver for 13 months until she was well enough to handle her daily activities on her own. I did everything from wash wounds change bandages give baths help with bathroom trips, to drive to physical therapy and doctors appointments. It was in that time that i realized i enjoyed doing this as a career. I enjoy working with people and helping them feel extreme peace of mind, compassion and freedom as well as the level of respect they deserve.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
