As long as I am able to remember I have been a caregiver of some kind. Whether it be to my kids, in-laws, or friends personally - or the community professionally - nurture is my nature. When my kids went to school I went to work, certifying as a pharmacy technician, and dutifully serving Brookshire Bros. and the Dayton community as such for nearly 20 years. In 2015 I got the bug to do more, so I completed the nursing pre-requisites at Lone Star College. After receiving my associates, I decided to step back, as some family issues arose and my care and attention was needed there. After my family issues had been resolved I re-entered the workforce and began working with an elderly patient who changed my world, thus beginning my career in home health.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
