I became a caregiver because I loved working with people, and interacting with people from different backgrounds. I like being a caregiver, because I worked in different settings and each client is unique. A personal achievement I am proud of is being a mother, earning an associates degree, and wanting to excel in the healthcare field. I am bilingual, and worked in the healthcare field since 1997, in nursing home, clinic, group home, and private duty. I am also bilingual (Spanish). I have a Certified Nursing Assistant certificate from Triton College and CPR card as of November 2014.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
