One of my personality traits that help me become a caregiver would have to be having patience. Having patience is the key to working with anyone in the medical field. What attracted me to be a caregiver is honestly knowing that some residents/patients don't have companionship. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver would have to be the stories I get to hear about about their past lives and the things they did an seen an growing up in life. I can say a personal achievement I am proud of myself would be being the love and care I have overcome with my patients and they love I achieve from them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
