Since becoming a caregiver in 1981has most certainly made such a positive impact that for the past 23 years has been my chosen profession. Knowing I might make a difference in a persons life, maybe just a smile from them, leaves me feeling an incredible sense of well-being. Having the gift of being sensitive to others and maybe to help them feel better is my mission. The one on one care from helping people stay in their homes has been most rewarding. There comes a time for some people where they loose so much of the independence they once had. Having the option to stay in their homes with assistance is an awesome alternative. I do plan to further my education in the medical field at some point but for now I will stick to what I know best.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
