I have been caregiving professionally for over 5 years. Prior to working as a caregiver, I took care of my grandparents. My main area of expertise is Dementia care, though I have also cared for people who had end stage heart failure. When I care for someone I dont just treat them like family, they are family to me. My main goal with any client is to ensure that they are leading full, active lives. I love working with the elderly because they have so much life experience to share. Too often people forget that they were once young. I firmly believe that in most cases my clients can and should have a significant role in making decisions about their own care
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
