What makes me a great caregiver is my compassion, I've heard this so many times from my previous patients. I feel like if I can make one persons day when I work I've done my job. My favorite type of care is rehab because I feel a sense of accomplishment from helping people get back to their daily living. What made me want to become a caregiver was in 2001 my great grandmother was placed in a nursing home facility and when I saw the way patients were cared for in the facility it made me want to become a nursing assistant so I could make a difference which is when I developed my mantra that if I can make one persons day I feel like I've done my job.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
