Hi! My name is Emily, and I'm a senior studying Psychology at UF. I've been a caregiver in many different capacities since age thirteen when I had my first babysitting job. Since then I've had experience working at a children's daycare, a preschool, a retirement community, an Alzheimer's day center, and a home-health agency that provides services to the elderly. I have loved interacting with the elderly ever since I was a little girl. I discovered this by the joy that I felt when I would go with a group from my church to sing Holiday carols at nursing homes every year. I plan on going to going to graduate school for Applied Behavior Analysis, and my dream is to work as a behavior analyst with the geriatric population.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
