Being a caregiver is an incredibly rewarding job for me. I love the unique bond that is formed under the complex circumstances of caregiving. My patience make me a good fit for this job, and I believe my patience comes from a place of compassion. I was actually intimated by the idea of being a caregiver before I started working in the field for the first time because it seemed like a lot of responsibility. I got my first job as a Nurse Aide when my mother recommended me to her boss. I found out I was right and that it IS a lot of responsibility, but that's what made it so fulfilling to me. It was more than just a source of income. It was the satisfaction of knowing I made someone's day easier and hopefully better.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
