I love caring for others. It has always been a part of my life from a very young age. I took care of my grandparents. I also did a lot of things for the elderly folks from church. I started nursing school but then dropped out when my Mom became ill from having a brain aneurysm. I took care of her her last five years of life. I saw many things during that time and after she passed, I decided I would rather be a caregiver. I felt and saw the need for the patient to receive the love and care so deserved. Especially during their time of greater need.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
