What makes me a good caregiver is that I am patient, compassionate, attentive and most importantly, you can trust me. I enjoy helping people to live their best life no matter the situation. Illness or injury can sometimes bring out the worst in people simply because they are dealing with something new and very unfamiliar. No one enjoys feeling sick. Therefore, patience and compassion go hand in hand when caring for someone. It's important to me to be attentive to changes in emotion or the physical; it may be a symptom of something arising out of the client's current circumstance. And finally, trust; having a trusted caregiver means you will have a sense of comfort knowing your loved one is in good hands whether in your home or theirs. What I like about being a caregiver is, it gives me joy and a sense of satisfaction being an aid to someone else. I work well with others, I'm able to follow protocols given by family and medical staff. I have excellent verbal and written communication skills, time management and organization.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
