When I work with clients, I take note of their needs and fill those needs as the case may be from day to day; I walk the extra mile if needed. I became a caregiver accidentally but I realized that there is a need for caregivers like me who really, truly care about the clients by working with how they feel from day to day whether it is emotional, physical, and medical. My greatest accomplishment is being able to solve problems that come along the way. For instance, I worked with a stroke victim who had four bouts of pneumonia before I was hired. I devised a diaper that would absorb the urine and not wet the back of the patient. It worked and all the other nurses taking care of him followed suit during the two years I was there.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
