One of my personality traits that help me become a better caregiver is openness. I say that because when I first started as a caregiver I was hesitant on doing some things that I am now comfortable doing. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver is that I love being around elders and I love how their personalities are so different and the advice that they have. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the bonds that I start to create over time and will last a lifetime. A personal achievement that I am proud of is growing out of my comfort zone by becoming a caregiver.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
