I became a Caregiver when my grandfather became extremely ill my family couldn't afford to have someone help outside of the family I had just had my son and was available to stay with my grandfather. I loved being able to see his smile of appreciation for the help I loved reading with him feeding him cooking his favorite meals and just discussing his life. I decided to take the classes to become certified as a CNA so I could help more people who were unable t do things for themselves anymore. I love researching topics to discuss with a patient that grabs their interest and seeing their face light up that someone took the time to make them feel special and of interest to the younger generation.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
