I am a great caregiver because I have a soft spot for those in need, especially the elderly. When my grandmother could not do many things by herself, I became her caregiver, helping her with daily living activities, cooking, housekeeping, etc. The smile I see on my grandmother's face each time I helped her, that attracted me to be a caregiver. I am enjoying the most as a caregiver because of the smiles and satisfaction I see on my patient's faces each time I take of them. My proud achievement as a caregiver is knowing that my patients and the families appreciate my help and kindness. Them letting me know I did a great job makes me proud.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
