I became a caregiver for my mother back in 2011 after she was in a major accident. I aided in her recovery and helped her learn to do things again. It was rewarding to me to be able to see her make it through every milestone. I naturally just love helping people. My personal goal is to become a fire fighter some day. I have my EMT B license, so I know basic life support techniques. I am proud that I was able to obtain that. I aspire to have my paramedic license someday. I enjoy being a caregiver because you get to bond with the person you are helping. You get to make a difference in their life even if it's just by doing something small. I love helping people.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
