I had no idea I would enjoy and be as good at this as I am. Many Years ago I was a regional director of sales. The company went under and while I was looking for my ideal job I took a job at a convent, a nursing home for nuns and I provided care. I loved it so much I went to a hospital and worked on the med surge floor for a few years. From there I became a Montessori teacher and later was the Director of Senior Service for a Settlement House. My current full-time job is as at a Foodbank. Partime I clean for seniors and at my church.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
