Currently, I'm in my clinical years working toward a degree in Medicine. I'm doing clinical rotations in Chicago. I started doing home health work due to the fact that it's a form of geriatric medicine. Having chosen the field of medicine means, I need to have compassion for people in need of support for their health. Since the home health work is flexible, in terms of shifts, I feel it is an ideal field I could contribute to society and also make a living to be able to pay my basic bills, such as rent and utilities. Until I started medical education, I worked at the New York City Department of Health for over 8 years as public health epidemiologist. I am available to work from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
