I have been a caregiver for eleven years. I started out in childcare but always loved the stories of my friend who was a caregiver and talked about the relationships she developed with her clients. I became a caregiver when I was hired by a very sweet MS patient who wanted to train someone to provide customized care for herself. She was happy that I had no experience and she taught me well. I was with her for four years. I have since been a caregiver to more than seven clients with multiple conditions from Alzheimer's to pulmonary disease. What I like most about my work is simply that I can provide that happy peaceful, cheerful environment they enjoy and which essentially makes their lives so much better. I adapt very well, am organized and very easy going. I am keen and do try to become a team with other caregivers, doctors, nurses, therapists or social workers as well as family members who are all working to provide the best care for the client.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
