I love being a caregiver, because I get the opportunity to help people improve their lives and live life to the fullest everyday. I decided to be a caregiver after my grandma started suffering from dementia. She needed one, but we didn't want to bring someone in from the outside so I decides to take the reigns on that. Being able to spend everyday with her and make her life better and more enjoyable has truly been a blessing. I have a passion for health and fitness and I hope to one day become a physical therapist, but while i'm studying, I still want to help people in any way I can.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
