I became a Caregiver, because as a child growing up, I use to visit nursing homes with my mother. She was volunteering taking care of patient's and I helped her. Seeing how happy the patient's were when we visited, touched my heart. I love that I can help others and put a smile on their faces. I once had a patient that never got along with any other caregivers. But when I was assigned to her, she loved me. I made her laugh; we went walking in a park together; I cooked for her and showed a lot of companionship. I always wanted to make a difference in life and that was to help others in need of help.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
