I am currently in school pursuing a nursing degree, and I hope to eventually go into either labor and delivery or anesthesiology. I have babysat children of all ages since my early teens, but got my first experience caring for the elderly when I began assisting a woman in my neighborhood named Alice. I gained a lot from the experience, which gave me the knowledge and strength to help care for my own grandmother when she went on hospice care in April 2021. While I continue to work on my degree, I would like to continue working to provide comfort and care to the elderly in my community.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
