What makes me a great caregiver, is the fact that I actually care for the people I work for. I am a punctual person, and I have a lot of patience and love. What made me decide to become a caregiver was my grandmother. When I was young, I use to care for her a lot, and that was how we connected. I loved taking care of her and decided to make a career out of it. As a caregiver, I become an important part of someone's life, in a good way. Being a caregiver makes me happy, since I have the possibility of making others around me happy. A personal achievement that I am proud of, is when I get to know the person I work for to a point that I don't consider them as simply a patient, but as a friend.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
