I became a caregiver when I was 16 years old. During my high school years, I did a lot of private duty jobs and found that I enjoyed my patients so much that it never seemed like work. I have continued doing this work off and on since I was 16. At times when raising my kids, I would just help my family or friends with their aging parents on a volunteer basis. I enjoy working with older folks and find them so interesting and have learned great lessons from them. When my own mom was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer, I decided to take care of her, as long as she needed me. It was the best decision I ever made. Priceless memories that will stay with me now that she is gone. I am looking forward to finding a family that needs full-time care for their loved one.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
