I am currently working as a CNA in a senior facility and will be new to working as a private duty caregiver. What attracted me to being a caregiver was the personal care and time i'd be spending with seniors, something I am not able to do at a facility. I believe that i'll be a great caregiver because I am a genuinely loving and caring person who enjoys helping those in need and is not just in it for the money, this is my future and plays a major role in my life and it never hurts to rack up as much as experience needed to move on to my next goal.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
