Never having parents, I grew up with my grandparents and great-grandparents. I've spent most of my life caring for the elderly. I'm an 'old soul' and just love being around these experienced and wise people. I've taken care of people in their 90's since I was about 8 years old! Although I have a good steady job now, I want to do something that will be more personally rewarding. I love the idea of waking up in the morning knowing that someone is looking forward seeing me. I am single and have no children, so will be able to fully commit myself.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
