I became a Caregiver because I wanted to make a difference in someone's life. Some times I think all people want is to have someone listen to their story. Just to know that they matter. Some times just taking the time to listen can make the greatest difference. I like being a Caregiver because it gives me satisfaction knowing that I put a smile on some one's face and made their day a little better. My personal achievement that I am proud of is that I went back to school and have just received my degree in Human Services. I will be going back to school in Jan. 2015 for my Bachelor's degree. I have been a Caregiver before I even knew what one was. I have always been the one that takes care of someone or something since I can remember. I have taking care animals of all kinds, people from different walks of life, my grandparents, in laws, and my sons. I am patient, caring, and have a need to help others.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
