I became a caregiver to my grandmother (my best friend) when she was 88. She developed dementia then. I also was a caregiver to my mother in law who had alzheimer's. I educated myself and also had worked in a nursing on caring for the elderly. I believe our elderly deserves to live as comfortably and be treated with respect and dignity. I enjoy caring for people and making their life the best that I can. I later became a caregive part time in addition to my full time job for extra income. Since being laid off I decided to pursue caregiving because I enjoy it.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
