The natural compassion I have for others is what makes me a great caregiver. Before I even knew about caregiving being an actual occupation, I had been doing it already for most of my teenage to young adult life. At the age of 16, along with my mother, I began taking care of my live-in grandfather. We took care of him until the day he passed. Shortly after I became a CNA and what some would find challenging I took on with ease. My GREATEST accomplishment thus far I would have to say are my children. Without them I wouldn't have been forced to be the adult I am today. I love to help others, and there's not much more to elaborate on about that. I take great pleasure in knowing that I have helped someone or even made their day.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
