I became a caregiver because I love to help others. Because I don't believe in nursing homes; unless care has become more than family can provide at home. Because sometimes those we love just need an extra helping hand to stay in a home they are comfortable in and love. I love seeing my patients eyes light up when they know I'm there to help. When they become part of me just like an extension of my own family. Becoming an EMT was a goal I set for myself a few years back and I was very proud of accomplishing my goal. I love knowing that no matter what situation I find myself in, I'm more than capable and confident to handle the situation in a calm, caring, efficient manner.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
