I became a caregiver about 3 years ago when I was looking for a job while taking classes in college. I fell in love with the job and am very passionate about working with senior citizens who need a little extra help in their homes. I love communicating with them and hearing all of their amazing stories, providing them with companionship, and doing little things that make them feel more comfortable and safe. I have bonded with several of my clients in the past and often think of them as my "grandparents" and would do anything for each and every one of them. My favorite achievement is the fact that I can provide support and love to each of these individuals no matter the circumstances. I am a very hard worker who wants to change people's lives for the better, and nothing makes me happier than knowing I had the opportunity to help someone and put a smile on their face.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
