Hello, I'm an LVN, but before I was an LVN I was a caregiver at a senior living facility. I am very caring, compassionate and responsible. I first became a caregiver when I decided that I wanted to become a nurse. I thought it would be a great experience to help people and learn a little bit more about the non-medical aspect of helping people heal. I fell in love with my job as a caregiver, listening to my residents stories, going on walks with them, helping them get through tough days and enjoying the good days. The amazing thing about working with the same people everyday was that I was able to bond and care for them as if though they were my family members. I worked there for two years, got through collage and enrolled in the LVN program and graduated, got my LVN license and my IV/ blood withdrawal certification, worked in the field but I decided that I missed caregiving.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
