Hello my name is Annette, I have been A Caregiver for most of my life. In my mid 20s I obtained my CNA while working in nursing homes. I've also been with Lutheran Social Services as a home care provider for the mentally disabled. I got away from people caregiving for a while and became an animal caregiver for large animals such as horses at the Large Animal Vet Teaching Hospital at A& M. But after 3 years my calling came back to me for the care of our older loved ones. I am now 40 and my passion and calling is to care for our elderly and our disabled. I keep a GREAT outlook on life, I am always in a great mood and all clients even on their bad days, keep my heart full and joyful.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
