I love being a caregiver. This profession is my life's passion. I received my career start in 2008 when my grandmother became ill and incapable of caring for herself. I left the field in 2014 due to her passing. My husband saw the desire I have to help others and decided that it was time to allow me back in the field. I feel the three qualities that make an extraordinary caretaker are: empathy, enthusiasm, and education. Empathy gives me the opportunity to connect with a client. Their feelings and thoughts allow me to relate with them in a consoling, therapeutic manner. My enthusiasm is my greatest asset. I love life and make others around me feel the same joy I feel when interacting in any environment or situation. I feel my energy can rejuvenate those who might have pessimistic perspectives or ennui of the world. The most important feature of a great caretaker is education. In order to assist any client, you must know what procedures must be taken. My experience has given both the clinical steps to take and the hands-on application for each unique situation. I love helping the elderly in any way possible. My goal is to have a positive, optimistic impression with all clients I come in contact with.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
