I believe what makes me a good caregiver is the fact that I genuinely care about the well-being of others. I don't like to see people mistreated just because they are sick or just because they may need a little more help than others. I decided to become a caregiver because I feel as though I can make a difference in the life of someone who needs my help. What I like most about my job is that I'm appreciated. I enjoy the warm feeling I receive when someone says thank you to me. I also love seeing people well cared for because I will never know when I'll be the one who needs help. I have a lot of patience and a really good heart and it always shows through my work. A personal achievement that I am extremely proud of is going back to college to become a registered nurse. Everyday that I attend class I learn more and more and I apply it to my work as a nursing assistant. I have a few more years to go but I am very motivated and determined to finish up and become the best registered nurse I can be.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
