The personality traits or expertise that help me be a great caregiver are that I am very friendly and outgoing. I love talking to the patients and helping them get comfortable enough with me so they know that they are safe and gain that confidence. What attracted me to being a caregiver is the fact I want to be a registered nurse and in order to do that I have to practice being a CNA. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to help those in need. I understand that I am able to offer my services and be someone else's hands if they are unable to do a certain action.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
