I became a caregiver when I felt compassion towards my very first patient, who happened to be a family member recovering from a stroke. Care giving gives me an inner joy of being able to assist someone who wants me around. My role as a caregiver builds me up into a better person. I have more compassion, and the realization of what life is about. This gives me the energy and drive to put a smile on the faces of those I care for and their families. At the end of every work shift, I feel satisfied at being able to make a difference in the life of another person, either by holding their hand, preparing meals for them, having a conversation or just sitting in comfortable silence. I am very proud of being a caregiver because it bonds me to strangers who eventually become extended family. That is always what I call, a personal achievement.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
