some traits that help me be a great caregiver are.. empathetic, works well with others, problem solver, responsible, people skills, adaptability. I was attracted to care giving when i started to take care of my great grandma right out of high school. i knew i always wanted to help others. i enjoy making someone's day, or making someone smile, just being there for them. a personal achievement i am proud of is making it work myself. whatever it was i figured it out, leaving my foster care on my 18th birthday i knew i had myself and i worked up from there.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
