I love working as a caregiver. I am from a small town in Kansas, and lived much of my early childhood helping to take care of my elderly family members, which lead me to healthcare after high school. After my great grandmothers had both passed from neurodegenerative disorders, I decided to take my education one step further and started working in mental health, where I learned about the effects of trauma on the brain and proper reactions to trauma. I most enjoy being a caregiver because I know we all deserve to have someone who cares helping us, and who has the patience to step back and ask the important questions. I am proud of myself for getting myself through school and finding a way to move halfway across the country to find a place to truly call home.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
