I have been a teacher for 18 years. I am 41 years old but very outgoing and in great shape. I love being around people. I also participated in the Adopt a Grandparent Program at the Virginia Retirement Community through my church. I love working with and helping people of all ages, especially the elderly. I was hired as a care giver for an elderly man diagnosed with Dementia. I worked night shifts. I was responsible for providing his evening meals, evening activities, night time medications, and putting him to bed. The man also had a second home in Nags Head and I would take him to visit his second home on several weekend visits. During his weekends at Nags Head, I was responsible for his care 24 hours a day from Thursdays through the following Monday. His family decided to move him back to Nags Head so my services were no longer needed. I feel very comfortable taking care of all elderly, and in all situations. I am available for work Monday-Friday from 4pm-7am the following morning. I am also available anytime on Saturdays and Sundays.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
