- 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!

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 :)
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!
Same I know the feeling I care for my mom as well
@@Sabbrriinnaag facts facts facts i have the same job
@@Sabbrriinnaag wow it’s just goes to show that they have no compassion in their hearts. To me only compassionate people can be a live in carer, I am a carer also and love it. It’s so rewarding. I definitely would love to be a live in deaf and blind carer as I am there all the time anyway, my client has become family to me.
@@Sabbrriinnaag if you work for alca your a servant only to be called on when needed .. apd your the boss the parent and the leader of the household.. you make the calls ... in alca... your not respected at all. i done both and prefer apd.. im not just respected with my client and employer im also in demand all across florida with a spotless reputation that lets me pick my positions.. if your the best in your field.. you will be called on if not you change careers..
More videos about caregiving. Very inspiring
Kimberly Benjamin thank you! What would you like to see?
I followed you on instagram. Iam currently nursing assistant at a private hospital in tagaytay. You are one of my inspiration and now im waiting for my medical request from my immigration applying home child care in Canada for my auntie. In God's will I want also to study nursing someday when I go there. Please tell us your currently life now about your career. Thank you for inspiring us
hi tonight will be my first shift as a caregiver. im so blessed to have found your videos because u were so informative and made me feel more at ease. im in school for a nursing degree right now so i decided to do this to get some experience. thank u for being so candid, im so excited to start !!
Bless you for making these videos, I start caregiving next week! Wish me luck!💪🏾❤️
Hi Sabrina! I just came across your channel! I too am a full time caregiver on my channel. Except, I’m a stay at home family caregiver. Similar routine as yours. I’m thrilled to see more videos FINALLY being shared as a caregiver. At first, there was none. TFS!!❤️🦋
This is so sweet and caring you really have the patience and really has a heart for people god bless you ❤️
Omg I seriously love this series on your channel. It seems like your so good with the residents.
You’re so kind to blur out the undergarments. I’m not even Mormon, but it’s such a simple show of how caring you are ❤
Truly inspirational, I may be in a different situation right now since I'm a marine engineering graduate, way too far with the career I chose and I'm really not happy with what I am doing but I hope this decision to take a caregiver course shall give me more meaning to my life. God bless you Sabrina and your family.
the "i dont know what id do without you" THATS why people choose this job.
Awww, the “Okie Dokie” got to me😭🥺
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.
I’m 20 !! I love my job , and omg girl I also wear crocs to work as well !!
Salute to you..
you are young yet very hardworking hope you become an inspiration to the youngs out there..
I want to go there also as caregiver im here in the phils.
Taking up caregiver units certificate as well may i ask if do you have any work experience related or is it okay if you dont have any
Thank you
Thank you! I’m trying to build my platform to be more realistic, and hopefully a inspiration for others! 🥺
Wow that’s great to hear! I actually started in this field without any experience. I just trained and worked hard, I was thankful for my current boss to trust me with this position..
Toughest of all job! And you really doing a great one ☝️. and while listening with your voice tone message little did I know you got me girl. This is so inspiring video. Thanks for sharing. Godbless you Sabrina!!
I’m sorry for just seeing this, but I truly appreciate it! Thank you so much for this comment! 💗
@@Sabbrriinnaag I’d work also in 6 beds care facility when I was in cali 7 years ago also at my very young age so I know the feeling.. looking forward for more upload videos of you!
@@madelhernandez157 thank you, I appreciate you so much! 🥺😭💗
@@Sabbrriinnaag I’ve been doing a video too about caregiving and some niche that needs to improve too, so like you I’d feel down and not so motivated just since my dad passed. But currently I’d like to watch and support some youtubers like you. Keep it up
I’ve done this job before and it’s really hard physically but very rewarding mentally
How is it rewarding mentally? 😬going to start working soon for this type of job
It is not rewarding me mentally at all! I left my job after 4 years of carework and I'm still having nightmares from the things I've seen. I'd rather be physically tired than mentally
@@p0poqlk0lpppoqqiuiyu did you do it?
Excellent video dear!
I salute you sis god bless keep safe always
Juvielyn Lucero thank you girl 🥺💗 much love!!!
I’m watching this vid in 2021 but I thinking of becoming a CN would you say being a caregiver is a step into going into the medical field ?
Those dragons are lit🤘
Thank you!!
Wow, what a great life experience for you and your boyfriend. How is life during the pandemic as a caregiver? What about college at the same time, are you able to juggle?
Thank you! I was going to put up a video regarding my life as a caregiver during the pandemic, but my motivation during the time was super low. Constantly being scared about contracting a virus, and spreading it was what I was thinking about 24/7. It has definitely changed my life, and it honestly drained so much energy of mine. We don’t currently go to school, but we hope to start after we move.. ☺️
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
starting soon, how is the pay? and do you do visits sometimes?
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♥
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 🥺💗
I want to do this while going to college is it possible?
i love your vlog more videos about caregiver plss......
I was supposed to upload more, but this pandemic has affected me in so many ways.. I’ll try to upload more if possible!
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.
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! 💗
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?
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..
lol days off thats funny not had a day free in 5 years your free time is between jobs i once spent 6 months off duty in my rv in naples florida.. then found another position.. as a apd live in caregiver , you can request days off with out pay of course but i rather take my client with me. lol.. me and my client just got back from naples florida looking at a sailboat i was interested in but declined to buy it..and we stayed 3 days in seperate motel rooms and had a blast .. just dont forget the med s and book, / aka mirs sheets..
can you make a video about how to become a care giver. like if you should go to school or how you could become one?
Sure! My experience was completely different since I didn't go to school, but ill try to give you as much information I know!
Where i live you dont need schooling unless you want to be a health cair aid. Support workers dont need school, and generally dont get paid very well.
The first time I came they told every 3 weeks I’ll get a break , and now they telling me every two months
Can you talk about how you became a caregiver or what are the requirements?!
Sure! Again, every job is different and some places don't require much besides a high school diploma. When ever you are looking into a job, its best to do some research and ask plenty of questions.
I hate my job , I do live in but they don’t give me no days off
If one doesn't have an accomodation, is this a job they should consider?
Is this your dream job? Like I want to go to college because I’m 19 but I have a daughter & things to buy obviously but I want to be a NICU nurseor a surgeon assistant later on, will caregiving help me if I want to be a NICU nurse when I go to college
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!
I already love you..it seems easy to me but not yet experienced..my question is have you ever experienced any harrasments ???and how many people is one supposed to work with? thank you
We do have residents that are combative so they will yell, hit, punch, grab, etc. We just have to always remember that they don’t actually mean it, majority fo the time these resident have Dementia/ Alzheimer’s. So you can never get truly mad at them for being confused or angry with you. There is always 2 caregiver on the floor, I work with my boyfriend so it’s just him and I.
How much do you make approximately? I am going to be doing a 12 hour shift hopefully
Well it all depends where you work! Every job gets paid differently, so if I were you then I would ask your employer :)
I like you. You are very dedicated and passionate.
Thank you!
Good day mam. You worked 7am to 7pm (12hrs) every day in 5 days? That would be 60 hrs in a week. Right?
Hello, is it just you by yourself taking care of all five of them?
Hey girl do you ask permission to take videos? Thinking about doing a UA-cam channel and I wanted to do a video about this but I'm too embarrassed.
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! ☺️
I tried to find on internet caregivers and/or home nursing, the only result is from Malaysia and nothing related to Thailand
I’m finna become a caregiver I have the natural skill of caring for the elderly 😅
Did you have to get certified? And if so how much did you pay for your class/test?
Most jobs no
What is the requirements for live in caregiver? Do you get pay less as live in care giver ?
Hi I have a question for ya. Are there other caregivers that also live there with you or is it just you and the clients? If there is other caregivers living there how many and what is that like for you?
Good question! I do this job with my boyfriend, so my boyfriend and I stay in one bedroom. We have a spare bedroom for relievers, or even other full time workers. Everyone that I have worked with or lived with are very friendly. Since everyone is always older than me, they always treat me like their own daughter/ sister ☺️
@@Sabbrriinnaag thanks for replying and the info provided😊
Sabrina what is the pay like? And out of 24 hrs how many are you required to work. When are breaks and lunch?
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!
Sabrina Garcia sounds good I’m gonna look into it Sabrina. so do you get your own bedroom also? If so this could be something for me. I have prior experience!
If you’re a live in caregiver then yes! You are absolutely supposed to get your own room. So don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You also don’t have to pay rent either, so that’s another good thing about it.
@@Sabbrriinnaag I didn't think I wanted to be a live in caregiver but idk, being able to not pay rent is tempting lol. But you do work long shifts it seems like
Hi! Ive been wondering since you live with them, what about your days off? Do you still live there or do you go somewhere else to stay?
mepb14 So like any other job, you get 2 days off. Especially if you work full time! Since I live here, I do still stay in the house but I usually just stay in my room. If I wanna stay somewhere else, or go on a small trip then that’s totally okay too!
@@Sabbrriinnaag ok thanks for answering!!
mepb14 of course, if you have other questions then definitely let me know!!
I have been working in Israel as caregiver I would come Canada 🇨🇦 as that possible to come Canada easily ?
Please provide me the link to contact with the caregiver company in Thailand. Thanks
Hello,someone help me here,
I applied for livein caregiver in Ireland online, I received a written invitation, am supposed to either process all the documents by myself or pay 28.30 euros for the agency to help me,
Is this legit?
Hello there! I’m not exactly sure how to help you since I live in California, so things might be a little different. I would say it’s always safer to do research, make a few calls, and if possible try to meet someone (video, in person, etc) I wouldn’t want your personal information being handed to someone you don’t know or don’t trust..
If someone else knows, then feel free to comment and help out!
@@Sabbrriinnaag thank you for your reply
Do they give you your own room to sleep before your shift.Im surprise your boss allow you to film while working
I’m a live in caregiver, so my boss is required to give me my own room. It was okay for me to record only because their identity and information was kept private ☺️
Do you work 7 days a week?
I did this job for long, after a couple of years it messes your head, i hope your UA-cam channel gets bigger maybe you can quit. Your pretty so you will not have a problem being a full time UA-camrs
hey are u still around im looking for a live in caregiver and its in oakland ca
Hi Sabrina, Are u still doing the Care giver Job?
Do you have break and day off ?
What does your schedule look like?
I work 5 days a week, starting at 7am and ending at 7pm. We also have a 2 hour guaranteed overtime from either 7-9pm or 9-11pm. It all depends on which shift you have!
Please I'm in Colorado where are you having your caregiving in USA
California!
@@Sabbrriinnaag which part of California, may I know, because I have carehome facilities also. Tnx
I started working as a caregiver at gardens at columbine in Colorado Littleton and currently their hiring
Am asking for names of care homes currently recruiting
Hey sabrina what are the requirements to be a caregiver? I am interested in becoming one and don't know where to start. Thanks:)
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!
I'm watching your Vedio about caregiver
I'm just start yesterday as a caregiver 2nd shift Im working a Memory care it's hard for me because i don't have experience.But I plan to go CNA TRAINING one day.
Can i ask 1 question . Do i need to get a certificate to be a caregiver? Thank you for the response ❤❤
How much does it pay
Every job is different, but since I'm in California the pay is higher than most.
I’m in California living in SD and interested in doing this for this to help and just be there for people
Daisy Meo it’s truly a life changing job. It’s not fit for everyone, but I’m sure it will teach you a lot of lessons. Maybe even discover a few things about yourself that you never even knew about! It’s hard work, but I believe in you!
Who cooks their food in all meal?
Was about to ask too
Hie cc want to came and work there can you help
Hi
Is it a family you are living? its a lot of meal it looks difficult to do a job like that.
Are most of the caregivers are female ?
San pong state US yan maam.
California
@@Sabbrriinnaag Are you registered with the state as a homecare aide?
@@asyongmatipid2 At the time, I was just a caregiver.
No answers❓️
Hey! My family is looking hire a live-in caregiver for my lovely grandmother. If interested dm me please 😊
I'd love to
the number one reason caregiver's get fired is over theft.. please . if your going to doing this .... dont steel from clients ... its not far to them and it will and can end a career before it even gets started..
Why would you even think she would steal? Are you racially profiling her?
@@sandyr_g8566 its a known fact amoung caregivers .. and yes it is the number one reason for changing carreers from caregiving.. im not profiling anyone im not a cop..lol im just pointing out fact regardless of what color you are all americans are expected to pay their own way..
Are you like projecting onto her???????? My goodness UA-cam comments are SO ridiculous and no profile pic like Lord
