Personality and traits that I'd give myself as a caregiver is very responsible, respectful, understanding, outgoing, enthusiastic, caring, loving. I was attracted to being a caregiver because I was doing this in high school for about the last four years. I used to do it before then helping my grandma and aunt because they had severe disorders and I had to get used to them with me living there, so I kind of adapted to it and I've grown to love and help people. I enjoy sharing the different experiences with people and creating reassurance for them that they still have it and is able to be independent. My personal goal or achievement that I want to reach while being in this field is becoming an RN. I'm in school for right now and I think I can keep going and get good experience along the way if I work volunteer and pay attention.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
