I became a caregiver because I love working with people. At Sixteen I spent my entire summer in the hospital taking care of my father who died from cancer. I also helped out with my grandmother, who has dementia, while I was living in Louisiana. I enjoy being a caregiver because I love helping those who can no longer help themselves and providing the companionship they need. I graduated from Jackson State University in 2006 with a B.A. in Political Science. I also graduated from Kaplan University in 2009 with Certification in Paralegal. I am a kind and giving person. I am very patient. I've been caring for others for years, but a professional caregiver for a year.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
