I enjoy helping people that need help. Knowing that I can help someone who needs help gives me a bit of pride. Working with different people and knowing that they appreciate you being there for them. I never imagined when I was younger that I would become a caregiver. I became a caregiver by accident, when I had a relative that needed help. At first I was a bit apprehensive about categorizing for someone, then I became attached to the individual and their well being. It can be emotionally taxing, but I enjoy what I do. I just hope that if for some reason if I became incapacitated, there would be someone to help me when I need help.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
