I am a great caregiver because I care about the Elderly. They stay alive longer and are treated better than they would in a nursing home. I became a caregiver because I saw the need for it with many baby boomers getting older in the SF Bay area and that many people wish to stay in their homes if they can and while they can. What I like about caregiving is that it is a win for an elderly client as well as me since I have alot of compassion and empathy towards older people. The personal achievement I am most proud of is that I took care of both my parents at their home before they died.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
