1. Why did you become a Caregiver? Care-giving has always been a passion of mine. I grew up in a rural area where neighborliness, respect and care for one another were highly valued. 2. What do you like about being a Caregiver? Care giving, whether for the elderly, the very young or for those who are developmental challenged gives me a sense of personal fulfillment. 3. What is a personal achievement you are proud of? Looking after my mother in law throughout a long period of illness. This experience has motivated me to become certified as a Nursing Assistant. 4. Tell us something about yourself? I often form bonds with individuals I have cared for, which last well beyond the period of formal care-giving. I have been both a mother and home-maker myself, and can relate to the concerns, the fears and hopes of families.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
