As a Private Pay Senior Caregiver I have been helping seniors and people with disabilities to remain healthy at home for the last ten years. I specialize in Eldercare, dementia, Alzheimer's and Hospice Care and am now living in the DFW area. I am a PCA and not affiliated with a home health agency but an individual and always limit to a small number or one client. I serve a vital function in support of seniors and people with disabilities living independently in their homes, but who need assistance with daily tasks. There is of course frequent person-to-person contact in this job, and I become very important to my client and close to their family. I have worked in Maui, Hawaii, Bend, Oregon, Santa Fe, New Mexico and Dallas , Texas. Along with another Caregiver have accompanied clients on cruises and European trips.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
