I was the youngest in my father's second family after he was widowed. Thus, I grew up with old people and learned how to take care of them. I was taught to respect the elders, too. I am caring, hardworking, a handy person and a problem solver. I am smart, quick and honest. I worked for 3 doctors for 15 years, the last 10 yrs with a pulmonary doctor with whom I cared for patients with asthma, emphysema and sleep apnea. For 5 yrs before that, I worked for a neurosurgeon where we care for patients with back and neck problems and surgeries. I did caregiving as many years as I worked at doctors' offices. I was often the favorite of the patients for my care and competency.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
