I became a caregiver because I enjoy the company of people older than me. They have the funniest and most amazing stories.So many elderly people either have no family or their families are too busy and can't take care of them themselves,and that's where we come in. I've lost both parents both of which I helped care for. I've worked with only a handful of people as a caregiver and have enjoyed each one. I unfortunately lost one after just a few months of caring for her. It felt like losing a family member. I treat all my "clients" like I would like someone to treat my parents. I will and have gone out of my way for anyone under my care. Just like I would for any one of my family.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
