Hi! I became a caregiver when my grandfather became terminally ill and facilities were not an option we desired. I remember as a teen going to the local nursing home to simply visit with some of the elders and pass out fruit baskets during the holidays. I became a CNA in 2006 and enjoyed knowing I alone made a difference in someone's everyday life. Although my certification has expired, I am currently CPR certified and have, up until recently continued care giving because I thoroughly enjoy it. I am a 40 year old mother of 4 and recently obtained a college degree in Criminal Justice. Although I am pursuing a higher degree, I want to continue caregiving until so. I give nothing less than the highest form of respect, care and understanding to the entire family as this is what I would want for myself and my loved ones.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
