What makes me a great caregiver is that I enjoy helping others. I want the patient to feel as comfortable as possible. I want to be able to help them through surgery recovery or any medical problems they may have. In April I went into surgery for my appendix bursting. I want to be able to help the patient as best as possible and treat and take care of them the way I wish the nurses and caretakers did for me. The nurses made me feel like I was bothering them. I want the patients to be able know that I will always be there to assist and help them with their needs.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
