As a former teacher, I yearned for the opportunity to support the individual on a more individualized basis. As a direct staff worker, I am able to attend more to a person centered plan and the opportunity to achieve those goals is more realistic in personal caregiving. I am proud of the fact that I made a career change at an age when many would not attempt it. I have been true to myself. I am enjoying my current part time work caring for three young people who require skill building and personal care. It brings me joy to see them make some progress. I am a people first person and helping others remains a rewarding opportunity.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
