What makes me a great caregiver is being able to make my resident feel comfortable with me, always staying cheerful and with smiles. Making them feel safe and have belief that they can trust me. The need I have to help out others and care for others that need that extra help in their lives encouraged me and attracted me to be a caregiver. I enjoy being able to talk and share laughs with the residents. A personal achievement I am proud of is overcoming the fear of not being able to change someone's lives. The residents I currently work with always let me know how much they enjoy having me around and that makes me feel great because then I know I am doing a great job at what I do.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
