My name is Rebecca and I am a recent graduate of Mississippi State University. I received a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in forensic sciences. In such classes taken, I have had the opportunity to extensively study many disorders, in which I have become rather familiar with them. My grandmother began taking care of the elderly when I was a child. She took me to meet all of her patients, which gave me the opportunity to connect and understand the relationship with a caregiver and their patient. Witnessing these connections allowed myself to become interested in caregiving while I have the chance. It is not a field that I will remain in, but I feel that I will acquire many skills and experience a different side of the medical world.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
