My father was 101 and my mother was 96 when they passed away, so I spent many years of my adult life as their caregiver during various stages of their lives. Once my youngest child went away for college, I became a professional caregiver and find it very rewarding. For 4 years I was privileged to provide full time care for a wonderful family who became like family to me. I am a very loyal, dependable, compassionate person who tries to make life fun and enjoyable. I'm also an excellent cook and know how to be an advocate during Dr. appointments and visits with physical therapists.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
