I am a caregiver because I have always enjoyed helping elderly people. I took care of my mother when she was older and couldn't get around good. It makes me feel good when they laugh and tell me stories about them. When I come to work as a caregiver it doesn't feel like a job to me. I just feel like I am helping a family member. I try to make their day as bright and happy as I can. I have been taking care of clients professionally for 4 yrs and I still work at a community now. But I have always enjoyed taking care of the elderly.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
