My name is Kerri and I am a mother of 4 children. I became a caregiver after my mom passed away from cancer. I wanted to make a difference in someone's life. My mom went from a vibrant self sufficient woman into a feeble, dependent person who could not do anything for herself. How difficult that must be for someone. I knew I could be the caretaker for someone that I would want for my own mom. I started my working career in the corporate world and left to raise my family. When I decided to go back to work I wanted to do something that meant something and not just push papers and schedule meetings. I have been doing this for 4 years now and feel satisfied that I am making a difference.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
