My name is Shelby Graves, I was born and raised in Denmark, Tn. I am 26 years old. I now live in Collierville, Tn. Being in Healthcare is a tough career. I've always had the passion of caring for other people; children, & elderly. I also have a cousin, who is autistic & have disabilities, so I've been doing caregiving since I was a little girl. Professionally, I've been a caregiver for 5 years. I am planning on growing my opportunities by attending Nursing school (LPN) next spring. I have a list of enjoyable moments about being a caregiving, but the number 1, is being able to see a joyful smile, or interaction from the person that I am caring for. Life is not all about rainbows & roses. So if I can put a smile on someone else's face, life doesn't seem down or bad.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
