I have worked as a caregiver for over twenty years. I first started out working with the elderly with Alzheimer's disease at New Perspective in Brown Deer and later on in their Mequon facility. I have always felt comfortable around the elderly and enjoy their company. I like being able to help them in whatever way they need so they can have a nice day. I have done bathing, cooking, activities, and med administrating as well as general cleaning. I also worked for four years as a social services worker with the elderly population at Plymouth Manor nursing home, which I enjoyed.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
