I am a mother of four children with my oldest having autism. I have worked in the caretaking industry since I was in high school. I am attracted to being a caregiver it's more of who I am than what I do. I have always taken care of people be it my younger brother or an elder adult. I currently work mostly with adults with disabilities. I really enjoy people and helping them navigate daily living skills. Teaching sewing at Tavon has been wonderful. I enjoy watching my group gain a since of accomplishment as they create something themselves. Be it hand sewing or on the machine.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
