If I were to make a list of reasons I could be considered a great caregiver, included in the list would be the fact that I am very passionate for what I do, I am patient, loving, dedicated, and I also have years of experience in my field of work. A personal achievement that I am proud of is raising seven children to have great character and be successful people in society. Of my seven children, five have graduated high school. Some went on to college, others serve our country in the Armed Forces. Although I still have two children left to enter and graduate high school, I am the most proud when I see my children succeed in life. As for myself, I am a mother of seven with four young grandchildren. I first got my feet wet in the caregiver business when I took on the responsibility of taking care of my sick grandmother. Later on I became a caregiver for the company Vita Living Inc. The elderly in this company had special needs, such as down syndrome, and took my experiences in the field to a whole new level. With my new responsibilities, I became even more experienced as a caregiver. The three years that I worked for this company made me learn so much more about the field of caregiving and gave me a newly found appreciation for this career.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
