I become a caregiver as an "accident", a friend of mine needed someone to take care of a pacient and the person who worked for him was sick, so i replaced him and started to work as a cargiver. What i like of been a caregiver is 1) I was away from home for so many years and i couldn't take care of my grandmother and she passed away, so working in this area makes me feels than i'm making it up in a way, helping others. 2) I meet new people every time. One personal achievement that makes me proud in this work is that i give happiness to others most of the time. My name is Christian Lilliegren, i'm 42 years old. I lived in Sweden for 11 years and that time has given me experiences and knowledge in many areas that i might not got if i could stay in my country. I even speak a third language.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
