What makes me a great caregiver is that I always try to connect with my patient/client on a personal and friendly level to make them feel more comfortable. I became a caregiver because I love to care for others and be a big help to those in need of assistance. I love to see the excitement and/or joy on a patients face when all I'm doing is being nice and helping them out which goes along way for people which in turn makes me feel appreciated which is the most validating feeling to me. An achievement im proud of is every time a patient/client is more than satisfied with my assistance.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
