It has been several years since actively worked as caregiver. I was certified in Michigan through Beaumont Hospital in 1999. I would like to start working in this field again. I need to know what steps are needed to get hired in Clearwater area and for an agency or self searching.
Keeping in mind you will have a learning curve, regardless of how long you have been out of caregiving. Decide if you want to work for one person, a couple, or have more than one client a day. Be clear about what hours you can and will work, and if you do choose to go with a family, you get to interview them too. Good luck. I am trying my best to get OUT of caregiving. But have been doing it for over 20 yrs and way past burnout. Keep us updated.
Be sure to take a few classes in comedy so you can survive caregiving.
Maybe you could specialize in the electronic inventions side of things by adapting
a modified taser for use in especially dangerous caregiving situations, but I hear they have special helmets for that now.
Maybe this will pass.
