Am a caregiver because of my grandfather. I took care of him back in Kenya when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Seeing the appreciation that came from helping him with activities he could no longer do and the satisfaction I got from it, I came to the realization this is what I would like to do. I have experience working with the elderly, who have dementia, Parkinson's, just to name a few, be it just helping around the house, traveling to medical appointments, grocery shopping, companionship or toiletting as needed. It is a joy working with the elderly for we are ending up there and it is nice to treat others the way we would like to be treated one day.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
