I try to create a special bond with all of my residents I'd like to think as if I am taking care of my own family because that would be the kind of care that I expect from any caregiver. I am very social and creative which helps with getting comfortable with my newer residents. I decided to get into caregiving while I am in school for my BSN, it's helping me gain experience that I will need going into my career. I love hearing about my residents lives where they grew up, any hobbies they have, about their family they all have such good stories and wisdom to share. A personal achievement that i am proud of is having the patience to work with my residents many people get frustrated easily but I'm willing to take the time and put in my work to get things done in a safe manner.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
