My initial goal of becoming a caregiver was to gain experience that I needed before entering nursing school. After working as a caregiver for over a year, I've come to absolutely love my job. For me, the best part about my job is that I am able to assist someone in a way that feels small to me but is a big impact to my recipient. Small actions go a long way and are appreciated! I never once felt like I was "working" because I genuinely looked forward to coming to work each time. Although there were some challenges along the way, I do not love my job any less.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
