I've been taking care of my grandparents ever since I was a kid, since I was 10 years old to be exact. Being in our home is required that you help out with chores and taking care of your elderly and over time I got good at it. I've never work as a professional caregiver, just a care giver for my grandparents. All in all I enjoy helping people, not just care giving but other aspect of life. As a phlebotomist, compassion to your job and toward people is a must. I am proud of my dedication towards my craft, weather patients I've had tell me that I'm really good at my job and that I am very professional and caring towards them. I've been in the healthcare industry for 8 years now and I love it. It's either you love it or you hate it. Caring for a person is one of the most rewarding job out there.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
