There are many women in my family who have worked as caregivers for seniors and adults or children with disabilities. My eldest sister being one of them, has worked in this field for 20+ years and she is what first attracted me to caregiving. Her dedication to the job insprired me most. I started working with her at 18 years old when one of her patients needed more assistance. She would recommend me to her employers (family members of the patients), I would be interviewed for the job and usually get hired right away. The most common compliments I have received during my work experience have been that I am very sweet, gentle and patient. The part about caregiving that I mostly enjoy is building a relationship with the person I am caring for. I have built some unforgettable relationships that I will forever cherish. A personal achievement I am proud of is my ambition in regards to my education. I have an associates degree in Psychology and Science. I will be applying for the nursing program at Miracosta College in Oceanside, CA.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
