I became a care giver because growing up my mother was a nurse and I watched her and the excitement and the delight she got out of being able to help people. I've always thought I want to be able to help people like she did for so many years. I like that I can not only help these individuals with their daily living but I also get to be a part in their life and their story. I love to listen to their life stories most of them are really fascinating. I love the feeling I get when a resident thanks me for just doing my job. A personal achievement I am proud of would be the births of my two sons and being able to take care of them being a single parent.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
