I'm a great caregiver because I give the elderly the same care and respect that I would give my grandparents. My personality trait includes patience, compassionate, and being enthusiastic. The reason why I like being a caregiver is because I grew up taking care of my great/grandparents at a young age. I enjoy being a caregiver because sometimes I think of them as my own grandparents and it helps me prepare for my career path which is becoming a Gerontology Nurse. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is how my clients would always tell me that they like me because I am not rough with them and that I am very nice instead of being snobby.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
