I am a current nursing student and have completed my mental health, community, and medical surgical clinical. I worked in an infirmary for a monastery from when I was 15 until I graduated high school and I continue to help out on the holidays when needed. I am compassionate and dedicated. I am punctual and professional. I have always felt drawn to caring for life at all stages. To me, being a caregiver is about the connections I make with the people I work with. I feel that I have a lot of love and patience to give and I always leave feeling that both the person I am caring for and myself feel better after the interaction. I am proud of how comfortable I feel with death and the dying process; I have helped people who are very independent and I have helped people who are bedridden at the end of their life; I think it is important to provide quality of care to all walks and stages of life. I am ready to start working as soon as possible and I have very flexible hours until the end of August when I begin my senior year at Loyola. I can still help out then but I will have to work around my class schedule.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
