I consider myself a kind and caring person. I get along well with the elderly and people with disabilities. I have worked with disabled adults and also at nursing homes. I would say i have a higher level of patience. I am physically in good shape and i realize that this type of job can both be physical and mentally challenging. I enjoy having a kind demeaner with the clients and providing companionship as well as good personal care. My favorite part about being a caregiver is taking that extra time to have a conversation or just letting my residents know I really care about them. One personal achievement i am proud of is getting my CNA license and also being a home owner.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
