I helped with my mother before she passed away with dementia, I helped with my father before he passed with cancer. I also was my husbands caregiver twice before he got 2 kidney transplants. I set the machine up at home, injected the meds into the back of the solution bags when needed, and I also broke the kidney machine back down and set it up for the next night of dialysis for my husband. I worked too as a hab tech working with teens. I taught them basic living skills to better their lives and to allow them to better their own lives.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
