I started being a caregiver as a little boy after my uncle had an accident which left him unable to walk. I think I was about 9, which sounds pretty young by today's standards, but I realized the important responsibilities of a caregiver at that tender age, and my reliability allowed my aunt to work at her job. Later, when this same uncle and Aunt became sick and elderly, I was the one the family turned to for their care. I have always had a special place in my heart for the elderly, and I enjoy being in their presence. I enjoy helping people of all ages.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
