I have been a caregiver/supervisor for the last 4 years. I enjoy making people laugh and smile. I hate seeing anyone in a bad mood or upset. It really brings down the positive atmosphere I like to bring. I took care of my grandmother for the last three years of her life and even though she was in so much pain, I could tell just me being there meant the world to her. 6 months ago I was nominated by one of the ladies who works with the county board of Ashtabula for caregiver of the year. It's something I'm very proud of and an honor to be nominated.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
