Caregiving is more than taking care of someone that can no longer do for themselves , it's building a genuine relationship with the person your caring for. Taking the time to learn them and their dislikes and likes. Making them feel safe and know that they are in good hands. What made me want to become a caregiver was my grandfather, his name was Floyd. Spending his last days with him was remarkable. I loved him so much and wish I was able to care for him before he said his last goodbyes to his grandchildren. I wanted to be able to make someone else grandparents happy and care for them the way his caregiver did for mine.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
