I knew I was destined to work with the elderly as young as 16 years of age. I took pride in visiting an elderly neighbor and spent most of my free time helping her around her home. As I grew older, I developed a passion for caring for the elderly because there is joy in making them happy and comfortable as they age. I did many jobs that did not require senior care but I often made it my duty to stay in contact with the elderly and always offered my assistance when they needed. What I enjoy most about care giving is knowing how pleased my employers are with how I care for their loved ones. One personal achievement that I am proud of is how my spiritual life transfers into my character that allows me to bring joy to those I care for.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
