I started out caring for the disabled and elderly in 2009 as a personal caregiver with Canton Manor in Canton, MS. I also worked with Ability Works and MS Rehabilitation as a personal care assistant. I later received my CNA license in 2012 with MS State Hospital. I worked as an CNA on their grounds for 6 months before I returned to Ability Works. I took a couple of years off as I started to bear children and was introduced to more intensive care of an individual as a mother. In November 2016 I returned to the field of caregiving when I decided to be my grandmothers full time care giver until her demise. I am educated in caring for diabetic patients, wound care, bathing, feeding, dressing, and administering medications. Although I allowed my license to elapse some skills never go away. I am a mother of three so I am very passionate about nursing and caring for people.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
