I think what makes me a good caregiver is my genuine love of people. I taught in Dallas ISD for 23 years and retired in 2011. After retirement, I homeschooled my granddaughter until high school. Now that she is in high school, I am going into the next phase of my life. Even before I graduated high school, I worked as a nurse assistant in one of the local hospitals in my hometown. I thoroughly enjoyed working in the hospital, bringing as much hope and sunshine as I could. So now I have come full circle and I want to help people in a caregiving capacity once again. Helping people in some capacity is my calling in life, and to serve as a caregiver would not only be fulfilling for me , but for my client as well.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
