I became a caregiver 16 years ago when a few clients at my previous job told me that I had the potential to be one.They told me that they could see that it came naturally to me and that I had all the patience and compassion to do this kind of work. Caregiving is a kind of job that is rewarding in so many ways and to me the number one thing is that at the end of the day I have made a difference in someone's life. There are a few personal achievements that I'm proud of but the main one would be getting a Caregiver of the Year Award from one of my employer's. I'm a single mother with two teenager's and both my children and I are involved in our community as much as we can.We had started a tradition 5 years ago that on Christmas morning we go out to feed and give presents to the homeless and its been a success. This is just a way of teaching my children how to appreciate what they have and become productive members of our community.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
