I'm experienced in care giving because of my own personal experience with my great grandmother and grandmother. I am currently a medical anthropology student so I'm well versed in biology and can recognize important behavioral traits that may indicate larger problems. I'm currently looking at caregiving as a job because I enjoy being a helping hand. I can't change the world but I can at least make someone's day better. I am not a specialized caretaker. I can cook, clean, keep a schedule for medications, be a source of transportation, and be a companion throughout the day. I am a painter (water and acrylic) and classical musician (flute). Part of my associates degree from Lee College in Baytown was to help others learn how to draw and paint. I speak English only.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
