I became a caregiver because I love helping others. I love listening to their stories from when they where younger. Or to get them out the house for a while. Some elderly people have hobbies like playing cards or painting that they have not done in a while and I'll be more than happy to play a card game or maybe learn a new game or trick, or paint a picture. I like involving them in helping to prepare lunch or matching the socks while I fold the laundry. I like to help them be more independent or involved in the daily activities, I learned that it makes them feel good about themselves. I'm also CPR certified and also a medical assistant.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
