I became a caregiver because I enjoy working with the elderly and enjoy listening to the many stories they tell of their glory days. Personally I take pride in the fact that I can assist someone in doing the things that other's take for granted. Many people are ashamed to admit that they can not do the same things they use to, I try to understand their little quirks and do the things they need without them saying it so they do not have to admit they need help in this area. I take pride in knowing my residents well so I know when something is going wrong with their health situation.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
