I became a caregiver when I had to have a part-time job in Washington D.C. I worked there for two years. I like being a caregiver because I like to take care of people who needs personal help. My achievement in this field is when my client told me that they like me to be with them. I am actually a teacher in the elementary grades for more than 10 years in the Philippines but when I came here in the USA, I ended up as a caregiver because I don't have a license to teach here. I love my job now because I can relate with them. It's just like taking care of my own parents.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
