What makes me a great caregiver is that I "learn" my clients; their every what, where, who, when, and how... I learn little habits they may have, that may not be recognizable them; I learn their likes and dislikes; their humor and their seriousness... I learn when it's time and when it's not time; when it's a good time and when it's a bad time... I became a caregiver through my grief after the death of my husband in 2007; I felt I had to do something to honor his life by helping someone else... and the thing that I like most about my job is the one on one client to caregiver family feel I receive from caring for someone who may not be able to care for themselves. God has blessed me to be a very healthy and strong woman, wife, and mother of an adult child; and He has blessed me to go out and help others; I'm very proud of that.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
