I became a caregiver because it is something that I love to do. What made me decide to become a caregiver was watching my mother when I was a little girl take care of children with special needs I admired her so much because of the time she took to make sure that every child was made to feel special. One of my greatest accomplishments to me was taking care of my grandfather who passed from complications of cancer. I learned a lot about myself through that time, the most important thing in my opinion was that I was strong enough and had a heart to care for others in their time of need.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
