I have worked as a caregiver for over twenty five years. Starting out with an agency that I worked with for seven years. I then went on to work at a school for children with developmental disabilities. I was also there for seven years. I went on to work as an independent caregiver for a man for eleven years until his death. I am currently working with a ninety year old female who is suffering with Dementia. I have been with her two years next month. She is being placed in a memory care facility soon. Every one that I have worked for has been happy with my service and will provide recommendations upon request. I think some people are just natural caregivers. It is what I enjoy most. I am compassionate, patient, and willing to do what ever is necessary to provide safety, and comfort. I treat clients the same way I hope to be treated someday as a senior.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
