I mainly became a caregiver due to personal experience. What I like about being a caregiver, is that I am able to give the same care as I would like any of my family members including myself to have. A personal achievement that I am very proud of myself is being able to go back to school. I am a hard, passionate and dedicated worker. I enjoy everything about being a caregiver. It means a lot to me that I was able to help someone by assisting that person get their strength back and being able to do what they could not have done by themselves before.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
