I come from a long line of caregivers and spent much of my childhood assisting with caring for hurt or sick family and friends. I have always loved it and find life has more meaning when you're able to help someone else. To be there when they are in a difficult time, or to help them transition into the next life is an honor that I don't take on lightly. I was a CNA who worked in care homes and decided that wasn't my cup of tea. I value getting to spend time with the person and giving them as much autonomy as possible. I transitioned into private home care some years ago here and there but transitioned to full time care giving in 2019 and it was the best choice I've ever made.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
