I became a caregiver because I love helping people. The thing that I like most about caregiving is the people that I get to meet and assist. I have been taking care of other peoples kids starting at 10 years old up until I had my own. When I was 20 I became a State Tested Nursing Assistant working in a nursing home. I went on to an agency working in different hospitals, assisted living and nursing homes. I then worked at an agency doing live-in home care for four or less days at a time. When I moved to Youngstown I worked as a Home Heath Aide.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
