I became a caregiver because when I was 17, my paternal grandmother became sick with Alzheimers and I would help my mom take care of her. I enjoyed helping take care of her. I now care for a little boy, whom I have grown to love as my own. I enjoy my job very much. I have been told that I have a very big heart and I have always loved taking care of others. I also have two children, a 13 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. They are my whole world and my heart.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
