CAREGIVER JOB vs. RESTAURANT JOB ORO VALLEY
Three reasons you should consider when choosing between working in a restaurant and becoming a caregiver.
- Reduce Stress: As a caregiver, your life is more balanced. You do not have the vast restaurant job swings from extremely busy to extremely slow, which can be stressful.
- Relax Your Feet: As a caregiver, you will often have time to relax while providing companionship or ensuring safety for a napping client. Unlike restaurant jobs requiring you to be on your feet for your entire shift.
- Live With Purpose: As a caregiver, you are helping someone live their best life. You have the potential to be someone's hero. Restaurant jobs are essential but less meaningful.
