I enjoy people, seniors included. I am patient, resourceful, helpful and friendly. Some people I know work as care givers or companions and have told me I would do well in that capacity. A very close friend had several surgeries and health challenges. I helped her at home as needed until she passed away in 2018, though not for any agency and not for pay. I have taught children, as well as training teens and adults for many years. Though I no longer want to work full-time nor supervise classrooms full of students, I have many empty hours and would rather be busy doing something useful.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
