What makes me a great caregiver is I am a very caring and compasionate person. I have patience and I also have an understanding of what the client needs. I became a caregiver because my mom has dementia and taking care of her made me realize that it warms my heart to do so and know that there are other elderly people that I could be helping also. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the relationships I build with the clients and I see how much they appeeciate all I do. A personal achievement I am proud of is when I graduated from Charter College at the top of my class with straight A's and perfect attendance and made the Presidents list.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
