What makes me a great caregiver is that I have patience and the love for people that I can help their days be little brighter. What attracted me to being a caregiver is when my mom had cancer and I had to take care of her. After that I wanted to help others that needed me. What I enjoy about being a caregiver is that I can get to know the individual and become closer with them as we work together. The personal achievement that I'm most proud of was that after my divorce in 1991, I was able to take care of my kids and build myself a better life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
