I was one of my Mother's main caregivers during her entire 13 year Alzheimer's journey. I was her companion and driver during the early years, then her housekeeper and cook progressing to her nurse, managing medications, then changing diapers, lifting from place to place, ultimately turning her to prevent bed sores. By the time she passed away in August of 2015, I had become an expert caregiver. Deciding to return to the work force, I now understand the blessing of taking care of those whose age or condition has created extreme challenges.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
