I became a caregiver because I love helping people and making a difference in their quality of life. I love everything about being a caregiver, there is no better feeling in the world then being able to help another person. I recently went to school to get my nursing assistant certification and graduated! My husband is military and we just moved to Texas so I'm waiting to take my state board to become certified. I am CPR/BLS certified. I plan on furthering my education to one day become a labor and delivery nurse. I have been a full time caregiver for the last 18 months for my grandmother who suffers from dementia all while going to school and taking care of my kids, so needless to say I'm a pretty good multi tasker!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
