I became a caregiver because it was just natural to me after raising my 2 boys and being the neighborhood house. I am currently getting my degree in metal health and will continue to care for clients there as well. The best thing that had ever happened to me is that one of my clients when I ran a group home told me that with out me he would have killed himself a long time ago. I love being a care giver because I really enjoy taking care of people. I have one client left from the group home that I still take care of and he just pays me what he can. If I did not take care of him or help him he would have no one.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
