As a care giver, I show both empathy and compassion to residents by understanding what they're going through. I love to get to know the residents one by one and make differences in their life. Life is complicated and hard for them, and I want to be there to help them with high quality of care. I wanted to become a CNA ever since my grandpa passed away during recovery after a knee surgery. He was at a skilled nursing and I went frequently to visit and see him. I've became close to his caregiver and that's when I decided to become one. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is that I get to be part of someone's life and make differences to their life. Small things like putting a smile on their face, making them laugh is better than nothing at all. I've found that they feel appreciated for caregivers to feel them better and being able to help them with ADLs. Personal achievement I'm proud of is communication skills and handling challenge and changes. I've had experiences in customer service that requires skills of communication. Also, I am proud that I have been able to pick myself up when things have gone wrong.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
