I've been a caregiver since 2013. I love what I do. I love being able to help others. It gives me a sense of enjoyment knowing that I am doing everything and anything I can to help others. I decided to become a caregiver my senior year of high school. And worked towards that goal. I've worked in a facility for 3 years and have done home health for about 2. I like home health better simply because it gives me a chance to have that one on one connection with my client and allows me to give them my full attention and care.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
