Being a LIVE IN caregiver at 19! Part. 2

Hey everyone!
I decided to make a part 2 of being a caregiver! A lot of you guys had some questions for me which of course I answered, but I also wanted to make one that was a bit more detailed. It also seemed to catch a lot of attention, so I wanted to show everyone a complete day.
This is truly an amazing job! It’s not meant for everyone, but trust me it’s very rewarding. It’s also life changing as well because it makes you look at life very differently. You also get to listen to their beautiful stories and what they did in life. For someone that wasn’t close to their grandparents, I am truly blessed to be in this position and have 5 beautiful grandmas.
If you guys have any questions, then definitely leave me a comment down below!
Follow me on my socials!

the disrespect for your job is inexcusable caretaking for my parents with cancer was the hardest and most rewarding and am forever grateful for the kind people who helped my parents. made me inspired to look into this profession at 29 :)

[@Sabbrriinnaag]

Marissa Richardson you have nooo idea. Especially as a fellow Filipina, people look down on you for having a job like this. People will make fun of you and say you wipe peoples bottoms for a living. I respect every single person who decides to become CNAs/ caregivers because they do all the hard work. A lot of people don’t realize how real and hard this job is until they finally put themselves in our shoes. I’m thankful I was able to receive this job and truly appreciate it!

I’m thinking about becoming a caregiver myself and we are the same age I believe but I do have some questions, how’s the live in position, do u have your own private room or how does that work? How long can u live in for? Can you save up money in this field for a house? I love helping the elderly and I know it’s not easy as it seems. And yes I’d love to hear your story on how bad it was in your old job place.

as a livein care giver for past 11 yrs, i would suggest working the a.p.d. side.. you do more teaching and less nursing.. every day i get to go out with my client and act , im plain street cloths ...like we are on vacation.. not sit inside and nurse a dying person waiting for the end.. with alca you work yourself out of a job with apd you work with the client for as long as you care to.. im going on my 5th year with same client and make 1500 a week .. if your a live in and not making money like this..... then your doing it all wrong... i could write a book on this topic and some day i just might.. next year i retire on my own .. and im here so say.. after 23 yrs factory work and another 8 yrs otr truck driver .. this job now is the most gratifying and satisfying position i have ever had...no regrets .. ever love my job love my country and hate democrats.. florida resident and the highest paid livein caregiver in the state of florida.. .. jmo

I am currently applying for travel caregiver positions. And I had a few questions. Do you get like a “day off” and get to out of the house? Or is it strictly 7 days a week stay in the house. How many weeks did you stay at each location vs. what they offered you? I also am in college online. Which currently just general Ed’s, so it’s easy. Do you think I could manage this and the job?

[@tarpanc34]

how the hell does that work unless your traveling in same state each state of usa has their own regulations you can not be certified in one state and work in another.. not that im aware of anyway..please more info on this if you would..

Where are you from sabrina? I really wanted to be a caregiver and I don't know how could you give some tips how the process is? loveyou your such an inspiration♥

[@Sabbrriinnaag]

I’m from California! I currently work and live in the Bay Area. I say if you want to be a caregiver then you should definitely apply at carehomes! It’s a lot easier, and they are usually always looking for staff. If you want to grow from there then you can take classes to become a certified nursing assistant. It’s basically a caregiver but it will allow you to work in facilities or maybe even hospitals! If that’s not something you want to do then take classes to be a health care aid! So you can work with different agencies and go from place to place changing or even helping residents with showers! There’s a lot of options! Thank you, I really appreciate it 🥺💗

Hi Sabrina! :) My Aunt knows an employer from Canada looking for a live-in caregiver. I am a registered nurse with 2 years of experience here in the PH. Should I go for it? I also had an offer already as nurse in London. I'm really confused. :( The advantage though, if I go to Canada I'm nearer to my family who are in the US.

[@Sabbrriinnaag]

Kate Pardilla I do believe that family is important, but you should follow what your heart tells you! Being able to be a nurse would be an amazing opportunity, especially in a place like London! Canada is an amazing place as well, but you will be downgrading to be a caregiver. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but having that opportunity given to you might be something to consider. I’m sure your family will also understand and be very proud of you! So take your time, and think about this carefully! 💗

yasmine 1996 So when doing videos like this, it’s best just to keep it confidential. Especially with where you work, your residents, and just obvious things. I want to educate a lot of people without having their names or faces shown. Of course it’s nice to let the person know you are recording, but keep it clear that nothing too personal will be put on the internet! ☺️

[@Sabbrriinnaag]

Being a caregiver was not my dream job, it was more of an opportunity for me to get experience in the medical field. I wanted to be a nurse but my life took a different turn after I graduated high school. So now I'm going to school to be a medical assistant and phlebotomist. I say you have a better chance of getting experience from NICU nurses as a medical assistant because you can work in hospitals!

Hello there! I’m not exactly sure how to help you since I live in California, so things might be a little different.

Ruben Saenz Thank you for asking that question! I’m a full time caregiver, so I’m technically here all day. I work from 7am-7pm, but of course have breaks throughout the day. I have two, two hour breaks that I can take. I use that time to either just take a nap, go to the gym, or some other random thing. Depending on the area you are in, the minimum wage is different. So every day I get payed for 8 hours plus an extra 2 hours of overtime! I hope that helped!

Veronica Hi! Technically, I didn’t have any experience when I applied to be a caregiver. Which is something that I don’t recommend lol. I mean you could have tons of experience in different areas and get hired, but if you don’t then I suggest volunteering or even working at a elderly daycare! It’s going to give you a lot of insight, and also give you the chance to ask a lot of questions. If you want to be more than just a caregiver then try to go to school to be a CNA. Being a caregiver can only let you go so far in the medical field. So being a CNA will help you to work in facilities or even hospitals!
