I have been a caregiver since I was young, helping my grandmother to care for my great-grandmother with Alzheimer's. I enjoy providing a service for people who need me. I have compassion and understanding of their situation and know that it isn't always easy to accept help. I am innovative in that I find different ways to help my clients other than what is considered normal or routine. I enjoy being a companion and sitting an listening to their stories from their past. It pleases me to see their eyes light up with nostalgia. I also have a thing for dogs, although I have taken care of cats and other pets. I do my best every day to care for clients as I would want to be cared for. One day it will be me needing someone compassionate and moralistic to help my family care for me, and I believe you reap what you sow.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
