A few of the most important traits needed when providing care include: patience, empathy, and compassion for others. These 3 are traits that I express not only in my work as a caregiver, but in my everyday life as well. I have been certified as a caregiver since 2005. I have received training in long term, rehab, acute, and memory care. Caregiving is not only a job for me, but a part of my everyday life. I find it rewarding to listen to those who are often ignored, to provide smiles to those who may be experiencing loneliness or depression, and to give care to those who are not able to care for themselves. Within my years of work, as well as in my personal life I have witnessed how difficult it can be giving care to our loved ones while we take care of our own daily living needs. Because of this, I have dedicated myself to being the trustworthy companion for many families in need of assistance for their loved ones. I look forward to contributing to your families needs as well.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
