I have been a certified nurse assistant for a little over a year now, and am certified as a Home Health Aid. I have worked in both a post-acute nursing home, and an Alzheimer’s and dementia facility. I prefer to work overnight because I will soon start training to become a medical assistant come January of 2016. However, I am free anytime on the weekends. I am also CPR, first aid, and cert certified. What makes a good caregiver is understanding that you first have to care in order to give care. I understand the need of the people I am humbly able to care for. I have had great experiences in assisting my elders. I became a nurse assistant in honor of my late grandmother, and I will further my education in the health care field.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
