I became a caregiver because it is something I enjoyed doing before I had any certifications. I have had no previous work experience, but I have always been generous and wanted to use my time to better the lives of the people around me. Becoming a caregiver was appealing to me because I think it is extremely gratifying to help people not only do things, but encourage them to still be independent and give them confidence in their minds and bodies. I am proud of myself for earning good grades and coming to the decision to attend nursing school to earn my RN. I plan on doing this at St. Petersburg College as soon as I graduate (May 17) and then work my way up to attaining my Master's Degree. I want to be a caregiver because not only is it gratifying work, it is also great hands-on and interactive experience that will aid me in becoming a nurse.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
