1. Because I listen to the client and I am a kind and loving person and desire to do a good job. 2. Scheduling freedom-I can work when and if I want that day-lack of routine each client is different 3. I was a flight attendant for 35 years and selected to fly on the Papal Charter when Pope John Paul came to the US. 4. I am 70 yrs. old very active and in good physical condition. In addition to being a flight attendant, I am also a professional organizer who helps people organize their homes, offices, and personal papers. I have worked with clients in their homes for 15 years. Both careers have prepared me to be a caregiver. I care about and enjoy working with people and help them solve their problems for the day. I would prefer working with the client that needs more of a personal assistant/caregiver as opposed to someone who needs personal hygiene care. Driving, shopping, cooking, organizing their home, personal assisting are some of the tasks I would enjoy helping someone with.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
