Many people may find being a caregiver is too stressful, boring, physically and emotionally difficult, or even disruptive to their lives. I however, feel that my personality, experience, training, reliability, and accountability are what make me a great caregiver. I have a willingness to serve with an absence of attitude, and with the patience to weather a patient on his/her good and bad days. Being able to care for someone that is not able to care for himself or herself is a rewarding experience and the reason I chose to become a caregiver. I am personally proud to have been able to provide care to some wonderful people and be assistance to their families, who in return gave me valuable life lessons.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
