* Personality traits or expertise that help me be a great caregiver are patience, compassion, trustworthy, dependable, attentive. * What attracted me to being a caregiver is I enjoy working with people and having jobs where I have one on one interaction with others. I enjoyed taking care of elder family members and want to help others as well. I like doing work that makes a difference in someone's life. * What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is just meeting peoples needs. I get to leave with the persons needs met, they're comfortable or as comfortable as you can get them to be. Another reason is the relationships that you make are meaningful. Being a caregiver doesn't just mean doing chores, it's also about bringing joy to someone's life. * I am proud that I continue to watch (specifically my grandma) and take care of my family while still attending school and working.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
